Coventry City vs Wrexham: Championship preview

Coventry City could hardly have planned their Championship coronation any better. After last Friday's 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers sealed promotion to the Premier League after 25 years away, the pressure was off for Tuesday's visit of Portsmouth to the CBS Arena - and it showed as the Sky Blues triumphed 5-1 to seal the title.

It means Frank Lampard's side can relax and enjoy the occasion on Sunday lunchtime, as they get set to lift the Championship trophy after their final home game of the season against Wrexham.

It promises to be quite the celebration and you can hardly blame Coventry fans for savouring the moment, having seen their side drop down to League Two, fall into administration and barred from playing at their own stadium - twice - since they were last in the Premier League 25 years ago.

The Sky Blues have been the best side in the Championship this season and are worthy winners of the title, so they have every right to enjoy the day.

Fans of Hull City and, to a lesser extent, Derby County will hope Coventry don't take their foot off the gas too much though, as Sunday's game is likely to have a huge impact on the play-off race.

Wrexham's 1-0 win at Oxford United on Tuesday saw them climb into the top six, although they will drop out again if Hull get a result at Charlton Athletic on Saturday lunchtime.

Phil Parkinson's side are level on points with the Tigers and four points ahead of eighth-place Derby with two games remaining, so it is almost certainly a straight shoot-out between two sides for the final play-off place.

Wrexham are dreaming of a fourth successive promotion under Parkinson and Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, but if they fail to get a result on Sunday that could be a tall order.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Coventry City 2-2 Wrexham

With the pressure off for Coventry and Wrexham needing a result, this should be an entertaining watch.
