Check out how to watch Coventry v Birmingham in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Coventry City will be looking to leapfrog Birmingham City in the Championship table when they host their Midlands rivals under the Friday night lights.
The Sky Blues have been suffering a hangover from last season’s play-off final defeat, and last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at promotion prospects Ipswich Town leaves them hovering above the relegation scrap in 17th.
Coventry, who could welcome back vice-captain Kyle McFadzean, have drawn five of their nine home games, but boss Mark Robins will view this match as a good opportunity to claim all three points.
That’s because opposite number Wayne Rooney’s spell as Birmingham manager has gone from bad to worse, as last Saturday’s stalemate with relegation-threatened Rotherham United took his record to just one win from eight games in charge.
The Blues, who were riding high in the play-off spots under former boss John Eustace but have slumped to 15th, are also among the league’s worst travellers, having lost their last seven games away from St Andrew’s.
