PREVIEW | Coventry City vs Norwich City - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Coventry City take on Norwich City at the Coventry Building Society Arena this Saturday in the EFL Championship.

The hosts currently sit fifth in the table, while Norwich are 11th.

The Canaries come into this game off the back of an impressive 2-0 win away at Blackburn Rovers, which should give them a boost of confidence. Coventry, meanwhile, were held to a 2-2 draw by Oxford United in their most recent outing.

The last time these two sides met, Norwich came out on top with a 2-1 win.

The Fan Zone

Ross Cooper (SkyBlues Extra): International break is over, amazing! Back to the real stuff and the grind of the Championship as we look to continue our unbeaten and overall positive start to the 25/26 campaign.

We host Norwich City on Saturday at the CBS Arena, the start of this next block of 5 games until the next internationals and, on paper, this block of games looks considerably harder than what we have had to face so far. So starting on Saturday against Norwich we will get to really see how the squad is shaping up and whether we can really consider ourselves as contenders to be right up there come May.

We will be without captain, well ex-captain Ben Sheaf as he completed a deadline day move to Wrexham, but we do welcome in new Central defender, Luke Woolfenden who signed for £4m from Ipswich Town.

It will be interesting to see what Frank Lampard opts to do, selection wise, for the weekend.

The attacking promise has been amazing so far this season with 14 goals scored in 4 matches, but at the other end our defence has been a bit porous and set pieces have been our achilles heel so far. So hopefully there has been some good work done on the training pitch to help alleviate that particular weakness.

It is important we keep the CBS a fortress this season and challenging games like Saturday will be an opportunity to show how good of a team we are and can be this season.

With Haji Wright, Jack Rudoni and Victor Torp all on real form, they are crucial to how well and effective we are offensively and we will need them on it once again if we are to come away with the 3 points this weekend.

Prediction: 2-1
