Fulham Preview – Cottagers to take another giant leap towards Premier League?
Marco Silva’s Fulham have been the real deal in the Championship this season. They were the bookies’ favourites to win the title before a ball had been kicked, and the Cottagers have certainly lived up to the hype.
The Londoners have won 25 times and scored a staggering 93 goals. Silva’s troops are 11 points clear of second-place Bournemouth. More importantly, Fulham are 17 points above third position.
Fulham have really kicked on since the turn of the year, claiming 12 wins from 16 league games to take control of the division. After collecting one point from two, the Cottagers have secured back-to-back wins over Queens Park Rangers and Middlesbrough in the past week. Sunday’s match will be their first home fixture in over a month.
Coventry City Preview – Will the Sky Blues’ winless run go on?
Back in August, many pundits had Coventry City down for a relegation battle this season. However, Mark Robins’ boys were extremely quick out of the blocks and looked like genuine promotion contenders in the early months.
However, Coventry have struggled to maintain those high standards as the season has progressed, and last Wednesday’s 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest saw the Midlands club slip down to 12th in the table. City are without a win in four (two losses, two draws).

Finishing in the top six now looks unlikely, but Coventry have had an excellent season in the Championship, nonetheless. Can they shock the leaders and leave London with all three points on Sunday?
