Team News

Coventry
Stoke
  • Mark Robins could make a couple of changes to the side that faced Preston last weekend with Josh Eccles and Callum O'Hare returning to the midfield.
  • Kasey Palmer, Fabio Tavares and Liam Kelly remain sidelined for the hosts.
  • Expect at least two changes from Alex Neil on Saturday afternoon with Josh Laurent and Sead Haksabanovic returning to the starting XI.
  • Jordan Thompson will return to the matchday squad after serving a one-match suspension last weekend.

Prediction

  • Coventry put up a late fightback against Preston last time out, but a brace from summer signing Haji Wright wasn't enough for them to claim a point on their trip to Deepdale.
  • Last season's play-off finalists are in a miserable run of form and have now dropped to 20th in the standings following four straight league defeats.
  • Stoke picked up a valuable point against Cardiff off the back of a cagey affair at the bet365 Stadium last weekend.
  • The Potters have now taken ten points from their last four Championship outings with Alex Neil restoring faith in his leadership at a critical time.
