Coventry City will host Swansea City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a disappointing start to their league campaign and currently find themselves 14th in the league table with just five points from five matches.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Watford in their last league outing. They then locked horns with Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and had looked set to be headed toward a memorable victory on home turf following Brandon Thomas-Asante's second-half opener before their Premier League opponents scored two late goals to clinch the win.
Swansea City, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season, although they remain hopeful of a top-half league finish. They beat Norwich City 1-0 last time out, profiting from an own goal early in the game as they went on to record a fourth unbeaten outing against the Canaries.
The Swans sit 11th in the table with seven points from an obtainable 15. They are two points above their weekend opponents and will be looking to widen that gap come Saturday.
