Prediction: 3-1
Coventry
Leeds United will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Cardiff City when they take on Coventry City in the Championship round 7. The Whites quickly bounced back from a heart-breaking loss to Burnley, but Daniel Farke’s men need to keep on making progress if they are to return to the Premier League. With no fresh injury worries to report, Farke is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Bluebirds at the weekend.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their four-game winless run in all competitions, home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the visiting team, important midfielder Jamie Allen limped off with injury in a 2-1 loss to Swansea City. Denmark international Victor Torp is widely expected to replace Allen in the starting XI, while Borges Rodrigues remains in the recovery room.
