Coventry City will host Leeds United at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 Championship campaign. The home side look to have finally found their feet under head coach Frank Lampard and have climbed into the top half of the table sitting 11th with 41 points from 30 matches.
They beat Swansea City 2-0 in their last match with Ellis Simms opening the scoring less than 20 minutes after kickoff before Brandon Thomas-Asante doubled their advantage just before the interval.
Leeds United are flying at the moment and continue their push for a return to the Premier League. After a dull goalless draw against Burnley last week, the Whites returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion on Saturday as they thrashed Cardiff City 7-0 on home turf to register their biggest win in over 50 years.
The visitors remain atop the league table with 63 points from 30 matches and will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top when they head to the West Midlands on Wednesday.
