Ipswich continued their impressive start on their return to the Championship and are still firmly in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League. In fact, Leicester City's current wobble means Kirean McKenna's side have a shot at going top of the table if they claim maximum points here.
Coventry City made the playoff last season but have tailed off this season. Robin Mark's side have kept a clean sheet across their last three league games but their defensive resoluteness could be severely tested against a freescoring Ipswich.
