Another big game for the Sky Blues as they look to produce a similar display to Wednesday’s against QPR but this time with a finishing touch.

Norwich still have outside hopes of making the play-offs, something that would have seemed extremely implausible when Glenn Roeder gained his first win as Canaries boss against City earlier in the season.

Vital Quotes: Chris Coleman

‘You want your strikers to score and we had some chances the other night,’ Coleman told the Coventry Telegraph after seeing his side draw a blank against QPR.

‘But they kept getting in there and that’s the only way to correct what’s going wrong.’

Coventry City Team News:

Jay Tabb has a knock so Julian Gray could get the chance to improve on a poor display against Scunthorpe and a completely innocuous stint as a sub against QPR.

Player to watch: Michael Mifsud

Looked much more of a threat against QPR than in recent weeks.

‘He needs a little bit more composure in the final third but you often find that with quick players who generally play at one speed,’ said boss Coleman.

Norwich City Team News:

Darren Huckerby is unlikely to feature but Darel Russell returns after suspension to the heart of the midfield.

Player to watch: Jamie Cureton

Pushing for a start after netting as a substitute in the 1-1 draw at Watford on Tuesday night.

Match Facts & Stats

The Sky Blues have a perfectly balanced home record of six wins, six draws and six defeats.
