Coventry City v Sheffield Wednesday: leaders' promotion push meets bottom club's survival fight | OneFootball

Coventry City host Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Saturday, 11 April 2026 in Coventry, with the leaders aiming to press on in the promotion race as the bottom club fight to keep their hopes alive.

Coventry City have dominated the recent head-to-head, winning six of the last 10 meetings against Sheffield Wednesday, including a 5-0 away victory in October 2025.

Coventry City arrive with four wins and a draw from their last five league games. The Owls are winless in five, losing at Stoke and Hull and at home to Ipswich, with draws against Watford and Leicester.

Coventry City list Brandon Thomas-Asante, Oliver Dovin, Bobby Thomas and Miguel Ángel Brau as injured. The Owls are without defenders Liam Cooper and Di'Shon Bernard, while Joel Ndala, Murphy Mahoney, Guilherme Siqueira and Ernie Weaver are also sidelined.

The leaders average two goals a game and have 16 headed goals, with Haji Wright second in the Championship scoring chart on 16. Coventry City's delivery from wide areas could test The Owls' back line, who have conceded 82 league goals at two a game and kept three clean sheets.

Coventry City top the table on 84 points and a win could tighten their grip on automatic promotion. The Owls sit 24th on minus five, and any return here would be valuable in their survival bid.
