Stoke City
Coventry City and Stoke City face each other at Coventry Building Society Arena in a postponed Championship game. The Sky Blues impressed in the first half of the season, but they do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the visit of Stoke. Coventry City aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Queens Park Rangers, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. New signing Jake Bidwell should start at left wing-back, while Martyn Waghorn is a pushing for a start.
The Potters, on the other hand, suffered a 3-2 loss to Fulham in their last league match. Stoke City are determined to return to winning ways in the Championship, and seeing that they want to keep their playoffs hopes alive as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Thompson, Souttar, Sawyers, Powell, and Bursik should miss out with injuries for the away side.

After ending his loan spell with Basingstoke Town in January 2011, he moved to Cardiff City and it has to be noted that he made 17 appearances for the Welsh outfit.
