The Sky Blues have been the runaway leaders in the Championship this campaign, and not even a mid-season wobble has deterred Frank Lampard's side from strolling towards the second-tier title.

Heading into the weekend, the West Midlands outfit boasts a 12-point gap on third-place Millwall, and with only four games remaining in both their seasons, they can reach the summit if they avoid defeat against Michael O'Neill's side.

But just how can you watch Coventry's likely promotion this weekend? Here, Football League World tells you everything you need to know.

Blackburn v Coventry City: Schedule

Coventry will take on Blackburn at 8pm on Friday, April 17, in the Championship.

The Sky Blues have a stellar record at Ewood Park, having not lost there since January 1997 when a Chris Sutton brace guided Tony Parkes' side to a 4-0 victory.

In October, second-half goals from Victor Torp and Brandon Thomas Asante steered Lampard's men to a 2-0 victory, their sixth of the season, at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

To achieve promotion, the West Midlands side only needs to avoid defeat; otherwise, they must rely on Millwall to lose or draw to QPR on Saturday afternoon.

However, given that Coventry holds a 33-goal advantage over Alex Neil's side, their promotion to the Premier League is still a formality.

As for Blackburn, they still have plenty of work to do if they are to avoid relegation to League One come the end of the campaign, particularly following Portsmouth's shock win over Ipswich Town on Tuesday.

O'Neill's side are four points above the drop zone, and will be targeting unlikely points from this clash as they look to hold off the likes of West Brom, Oxford United and Leicester City in the fight to retain their Championship status.
