Team News

Coventry
Preston
  • Mark Robins could be without central midfielder Victor Torp this weekend after he suffered a calf injury during the game against Stoke.
  • Expect Joel Latibeaudiere to replace him in midfield, while Kasey Palmer could return to the starting XI out wide.
  • Ryan Lowe may opt for an unchanged starting XI on Friday following a convincing display against Blackburn.
  • Brad Potts' hamstring injury is worse than first feared and will keep him on the sidelines for around a month.

Prediction

  • A second-half goal from striker Ellis Simms proved enough to earn Coventry all three points against a struggling Stoke side last weekend as the Sky Blues claimed victory in Staffordshire.
  • Mark Robins' men have taken seven points from the last nine available, but remain three points behind seventh-placed Hull.
  • Preston scored twice in the space of four first-half minutes last Saturday as they came from 2-0 down to rescue a point at home against John Eustace's men.
  • The Lilywhites looked to be falling away from the play-off battle in the new year, but have since embarked on a five-match unbeaten streak.
