Coventry City and Huddersfield Town take on each other at Coventry City Building Society Arena in a postponed Championship game.

Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Blackpool, Watford will look to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they take on Rotherham United on Matchday 28. The Hornets are eyeing their eighth home win of the process, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash.

Following a 3-1 loss to Sheffield United, Stoke City will look to escape the danger zone when they host Reading to their Bet365 Stadium on Matchday 28. The Potters are now on a three-game losing run, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home side.

Coventry City and Norwich City square off against each other at Coventry Building Society Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program.
