Coventry XI vs Sheffield United – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Coventry City head to Sheffield United this evening aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Championship.

Frank Lampard’s side can move five points clear of Middlesbrough with a win, after Boro drew with Leicester City on Tuesday night.

Impressive back-to-back wins over Middlesbrough and West Brom have again put Coventry in pole position in the promotion race. The Sky Blues are bidding to return to the Premier League this season after a 25-year absence from England’s top flight.

Tonight, the table-toppers face a Sheffield United side buoyed by a win in The Steel City derby at the weekend. Chris Wilder’s side have lost just one of their last six to improve after a tricky start to the campaign.
