Coventry City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Cardiff City in their last league game, Coventry City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Cardiff City's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
4 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Mark Robins will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They've had a terrible run of form at Coventry Building Society Arena recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Viktor Gyökeres will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Coventry City.
Sheffield United, Recent FormSheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 3-3 draw in his team's last league outing against Blackpool. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Blackpool who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Oli McBurnie will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Sheffield United's last 6 league games.
After a good 4-1 win for Coventry City in this pair's last league encounter, Sheffield United will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Coventry have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against The Blades.
In front of goal, Billy Sharp has scored 3 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Sheff. Utd against Coventry at Coventry Building Society Arena and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
With only Liam Kelly (Lack of fitness) and Callum O'Hare (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Robins will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Sheff. Utd manager Paul Heckingbottom has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Anel Ahmedhodžić (Thigh), George Baldock (Strain), Sander Berge (Knee), Ciaran Clark (Muscle), John Fleck (Broken leg), Max Lowe (Hamstring), Jack O'Connell (Knee), Jack Robinson (Knee) and Enda Stevens (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
