Coventry City will host Luton Town at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a near-disastrous start to their season and find themselves in the drop zone as pressure begins to mount on long-serving head coach Mark Robins.
They played out a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers in their last match, with Haji Wright opening the scoring after just four minutes with his first away league strike since March before their opponents leveled the scores in the second half.
Luton Town have also endured a grossly underwhelming campaign as the Hatters struggle to readapt to life in the second tier. They suffered a narrow and perhaps harsh 2-1 defeat to in-form Sunderland in their last match, with Elijah Adebayo's second-half strike sandwiched between goals from their opponents.
The visitors sit 19th in the league table with 11 points from 11 matches. They are two points above their weekend opponents in the first relegation spot and will be looking to widen that gap with a win on Saturday.
