Blackburn Rovers vs Coventry City: Championship preview

Coventry City fans have been through the wringer since the club's relegation from the Premier League in 2001.

Having enjoyed an uninterrupted 34-year stay in the top flight, the past quarter of a century has brought mostly misery for the Sky Blues, including relegation all the way down to League Two and being forced to play home games in Northampton and Birmingham due to a dispute over their stadium.

The past few years have been far more successful, though, and Frank Lampard's side have led the Championship for most of the season, having narrowly missed out on promotion in each of the past three campaigns.

Coventry need only a point to seal a return to the Premier League and they will be roared on by more than 7,000 visiting fans, who will travel expecting to witness the club complete their redemption arc.

The Sky Blues will be without winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto for the trip to Ewood Park.

Blackburn are arguably in greater need of points than their opponents, with Michael O'Neill's side just four points above the relegation zone.

Rovers lost 3-0 at in-form Southampton on Tuesday night and will have played two more games than their Championship relegation rivals after the visit of the Sky Blues, so another defeat could leave them vulnerable.

O'Neill has not been helped by a lengthy injury list, with Todd Cantwell, Scott Wharton, Augustus Kargbo, Andri Gudjohnsen, Sidnei Tavares, Hayden Carter, Axel Henriksson and Matty Litherland all sidelined.

However, Ryan Alebiosu and Adam Forshaw are expected to return to the squad.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Blackburn Rovers 1-2 Coventry City

FourFourTwo expects Coventry to finish the job at Ewood Park, but Rovers' perilous position means it is unlikely to be straightforward.
