Prediction: 2-1
Stoke City
Coventry City and Stoke City face each other at Coventry Building Society Arena in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Sky Blues aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Blackpool, and a triumph over Stoke will see them move closer to the playoffs berth. Experienced forward Matthew Godden is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while all Liam Kelly, Jamie Allen, Fabio Tavares, Kasey Palmer, and Callum OHare remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the Potters are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, with the team remaining in the middle of the table. Since Stoke have little to play for the in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the in-form hosts. Both Matija Sarkic and Nick Powell are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Simon Moore):
Simon Moore is an English goalkeeper who plays for Sheffield United in the Championship. Moore began his career at Brading Town and, after playing 49 games in the league for the club, he moved to Farnborough in 2008. However, due to the lack of first-team football, Simon Moore left the club at the end of the season, with the 191-cm-tall shoot-stopper signing a contract with Brentford.
The English goalkeeper, who was born in Sandown on May 19, 1990, made his debut for the Bees in May, 2010 against Hartlepool United, coming as a substitute for first-choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. 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.
In the summer of 2016 he signed a deal with Sheffield United for a fee of around £500,000 and he did remarkably well to keep 17 clean sheets in the 2016/2017 League One campaign. The Blades finished the season in top position in the standings and, no doubt, Simon Moore’s brilliant saves helped the club secure promotion to the English second tier.
