Nottingham Forest are currently 7th in the league, five points off the top three with three games in hand. Steve Cooper's side have been in strong form of late, having lost only two of their last 16 games across all competitions. They will look to take that momentum into the game against Coventry on Wednesday.
Coventry are currently 11th in the league, five points off their opponents. Mark Robins' side have faltered of late, having only won three of their last 10 games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Forest on Wednesday.
Both sides are looking to climb up the table with a win and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
