The action continues in round 29 of the EFL Championship as Coventry City and Watford square off at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with the Hornets suffering a home defeat against Preston North End.

Coventry City maintained their fine run of results on Tuesday as they secured a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Frank Lampard’s men have won three games on the trot, including a penalty-shootout victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup third round on January 11.

Watford, on the other hand, were sent crashing back down to earth last time out as they suffered a 2-1 loss against Preston North End at Vicarage Road. This followed a 2-0 victory over Derby County at Pride Park on January 18 which saw their five-game winless run across all competitions come to an end.

With 41 points from 28 matches, Watford are currently eighth in the Championship table, level on points with seventh-placed West Bromwich Albion and one point off the playoff places.
