Team News

Norwich must plot without left-back Lucien Mahovo after he sustained a muscle problem that may rule him out for a month. He joins Ante Crnac, Amankwah Forson, Gabriel Forsyth, Jeffrey Schlupp and Mirko Topic on the absentee list.

Josh Sargent is likely to miss out as his future remains uncertain amid talk of a move to the MLS but Jose Cordoba and Anis Slimane could push for starts having impressed off the bench in the romp at West Brom in midweek.

Bobby Thomas has missed three games for Coventry through suspension. The defender is available but the club have confirmed a calf issue may extend his spell on the sidelines.

Right-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden has also missed three games with an ankle injury but is back in training.

Prediction

Despite this Carrow Road clash pitting leaders Coventry against a home side sitting just a point above the relegation zone, it looks far from straightforward for Lampard and his Sky Blues.

The Championship pacesetters are winless in their five league games on the road since the start of December and Norwich are making progress under Clement, with 12 goals scored in a trio of league and cup wins lately, including the thumping 5-0 victory at West Brom last time out.

Both teams have scored in Coventry's last four Championship games. With Norwich scoring freely and the visitors boasting 61 goals in 28 league games, over 2.5 goals at 7/10 with LiveScore Bet makes plenty of appeal but preference is for Haji Wright to find the net for the third game in a row.

The American forward has bagged late winners against Leicester and Millwall and is now into double figures for the season in the league after a barren run in November and December.

He will be eyeing his Championship-best tally of 16 goals and if he can maintain his form, he can help the Sky Blues return to the top flight. This looks set to be an open contest and Wright will fancy his chances of notching a goal for the third game running.

Back Haji Wright anytime goalscorer at 37/20 with LiveScore Bet.
