Burnley vs Coventry City Prediction
Burnley's impressive run this season has made them heavy favourites to secure automatic promotion to the top flight. The comprehensive manner with which Vincent Kompany's side dispatched Premier League opponents in the FA Cup highlights the level they're operating at.
Coventry, meanwhile, have the odds stacked against them, which gets more daunting considering their poor record against the hosts.
Considering the same, Kompany's side should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
