• Coventry are top of the table, three points ahead of Middlesbrough in second

• Sheffield United are languishing down in 22nd position, three points from safety

• Recommended bet: Coventry to win and both teams to score

Coventry will be looking to bounce back from their first Championship defeat of the season when they host struggling Sheffield United on Tuesday evening.

The Sky Blues were defeated 3-2 at Wrexham on Friday, but second-placed Middlesbrough's 3-0 loss at Watford on Saturday meant Frank Lampard's troops remained three points clear at the top.

United are still in deep relegation trouble, as they sit in the drop zone and three points from safety following the weekend defeat at Derby.

Team news

Coventry are set to welcome back defender Milan van Ewijk, who was suspended for the trip to Wrexham, but there are doubts over Bobby Thomas after he also missed that clash due to injury.

Wales international Jay Dasilva could be brought back in after dropping to the bench for the defeat in Wales, but Jack Rudoni remains sidelined because of a calf injury.

United remain without talisman Gustavo Hamer and also Tahith Chong and Oli Arblaster due to their respective injuries.

Jairo Riedewald could be recalled after being an unused substitute in Saturday's defeat to Derby, while Tom Davies is also pushing for a start following his second-half cameo against the Rams.

The stats

Coventry are unbeaten at home this season and have lost just one of their last 11 home matches in all competitions.

Prediction

Coventry's unbeaten start to the Championship campaign was brought to an end by Wrexham, but the Sky Blues are unlikely to dwell on that defeat and can enjoy an instant response when United come to town.

Lampard's side remain the most potent attacking force in the division and that spells bad news for the Blades, who have kept just two clean sheets in all competitions and have conceded 12 away goals in the league.

It appeared there were shoots of revival for United under Chris Wilder, who guided the team to back-to-back wins against Watford and Blackburn in October, but defeats to Preston and Derby since have derailed them.

Still in the relegation zone and three points from safety, the Steel City outfit are set to find life tough when they make the trip to table-toppers Coventry, however, the visitors can at least get on the scoresheet, something they have achieved in three of their last four away assignments.
