Coventry City hosy Sheffield United in a midweek Championship showdown at the Coventry Building Society arena this week. The Sky Blues have been flying high this season, a sharp contrast to the Blades who still sit in the thick of the relegation battle. What will our prediction be for this key Championship match?
Despite Coventry City's unbeaten start to the season coming to an end at the weekend, the Sky Blues still sit at the top of the Championship table, with 28 points from 13 games and a goal difference more than double the best of any other team in the division. Sheffield United sit 22nd with just nine points from their 13 games having conceded the second most goals of any team in the division.
As we mentioned previously, Coventry's unbeaten start to the season under Frank Lampard came to an end at the weekend when they were beaten 3-2 at Wrexham. Prior to that though had won their last six in the Championship, scoring 19 goals in the process and conceding just two.
After being appointed manager for a third spell, Chris Wilder has moved Sheffield United up to 20th in the table. They landed two wins in a row, 1-0 at home to Watford and then a 3-1 win at Blackburn, but then were beaten 3-2 away to Preston before a surprising 3-1 home defeat to Derby County at the weekend.
