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.
