It's 25 years since Coventry City last played in the English Premier League. The Sky Blues are on their way back though and top the Championship by eight points. Saturday sees them host seventh-placed Southampton. Read our match prediction below.
City have been in the promotion places all season. Their only dip in form came earlier this year when only a point was earned from three games. They have bounced back brilliantly from that poor run with six consecutive league victories.
Midweek saw them beat Preston North End 3-0 at home. They have scored at least twice in each of their six recent wins. Only one home league games has been lost this season with 14 out of 18 games won. Four of the last six on home soil have seen both teams score.
Southampton are still hopeful of making an immediate return to the EPL. They have had some poor patches of form throughout the season but over the last ten league games have only earned one point less than Coventry.
The Saints are only a place and three points behind the final promotion play-off position with ten games remaining. Midweek saw them held to a 1-1 draw at West Brom. They have scored in all their away league games this season bar one.
We tip both teams to score.
