Coventry and Middlesbrough will be bidding to kickstart their Championship campaigns after defeats on the opening weekend of the season.

The Sky Blues looked set to leave Leicester with all three points thanks to Kyle McFadzean’s header in the early knockings of the second half, but Foxes midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall had other ideas by bagging a late brace.

Middlesbrough also had to deal with late drama as a tight game with fellow promotion hopefuls Millwall was settled by Lions youngster Romain Esse stepping off the bench to hit the only goal of the game at the Riverside.

The two sides head into the fixture off the back of wildly different results in their midweek Carabao Cup first-round ties as Coventry conceded an injury-time winner to League Two outfit AFC Wimbledon, while Boro advanced with a 3-2 victory at Championship rivals Huddersfield.

As well as looking for their first points of the fledgling campaign, Coventry and Middlesbrough are renewing rivalries from last season’s play-off semi-finals when Mark Robins’s men came out on top over two legs.
