Coventry `City Preview – Can the Sky Blues bounce back from heavy defeat?
Coventry City have been the surprise package in the Championship so far. The Sky Blues were tipped for a relegation battle before a ball was kicked, but they have picked up six wins from their opening ten. City currently sit in fourth place on 19 points.
Despite their superb form, Coventry crashed to a heavy defeat on the road in midweek. Luton ran riot against the Sky Blues, scoring four goals in the first half at Kenilworth Road. The Hatters added one more in the second period to claim a stunning 5-0 home win.
Coventry have been sensational since returning to their home, winning five out of five in the Championship on their own patch. They have beaten Nottingham Forest, Reading, Middlesbrough, Cardiff City and Peterborough United so far. Can they add Fulham to that list on Saturday?
Fulham Preview – Cottagers to return to London with all three points?
Marco Silva’s Fulham have been in patchy form of late. Since returning from the September international break, the Cottagers have lost three, won two and drawn one of six league and cup fixtures.
After a home reverse to Reading and a 1-1 draw at Bristol City, Fulham returned to winning ways in midweek with a much-needed three points over Swansea City. As is so often the case these days, Aleksandar Mitrovic was the hero, bagging a hat-trick in the 3-1 victory.
