Coventry City and Wycombe Wanderers will trade tackles at St Andrew's, with three points at stake in the EFL Championship.

Both sides suffered defeats in their most recent fixtures. Coventry City were on the wrong end of a 2-0 defeat away to Luton Town. Goals from James Bree and Elijah Adebayo gave the hosts all three points.

Wycombe Wanderers suffered a 3-1 defeat to Barnsley on home turf. Daryl Dike starred with a brace to help the Tykes to victory.

Coventry City are in 20th spot, with only six points separating them from the relegation zone.
