Coventry City host Blackburn Rovers at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday (October 4) in the Championship.
The hosts have endured a tough start to their season and are falling behind in the race for playoff football. Coventry, though, returned to winning ways last weekend, beating Queens Park Rangers 3-1 at the Loftus Road Stadium. They were comfortably three goals up before QPR scored in additional time.
Coventry are 14th in the league table with 11 points from nine games.
Blackburn, meanwhile, have also had a disappointing start to their campaign as they find themselves in the bottom half of the pile. They lost 4-1 at home to leaders Leicester City on Sunday, marking their first competitive defeat to the Foxes since 2013.
Trending
The visitors are 18th in the standings, just one point behind Coventry, and will leapfrog them with maximum points.
