Plymouth Argyle will host Coventry City at the Home Park on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a turbulent campaign and now require a herculean effort in their final three games to avoid the drop as they sit rock-bottom in the Championship with 40 points.
They suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Middlesbrough last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a much-needed point on the road before team captain Joe Edwards gave away a penalty in additional time, which Boro duly converted.
Coventry City are in a battle of their own, with the promotion playoffs race likely to go down to the wire. They picked up a 2-0 win over fellow playoff contenders West Bromwich Albion in their game on Friday afternoon, with Jack Rudoni opening the scoring for the Sky Blues early in the first half before Matt Grimes doubled their advantage early in the second.
Trending
The visitors, who sit sixth in the league table, are only three points safe in the playoff spots and cannot afford to let up just yet.
