Luton Town make the trip to Warwickshire to face Coventry City in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday, live at lunchtime on Sky Sports in the UK.
The Hatters will be looking to build on the last two positive performances, where we beat Watford and narrowly lost to league-leaders Sunderland.
In their last five games in the Championship, Mark Robins’ Coventry side have won one, drawn one and lost three.
The opposition
The Sky Blues have had a slow start to the season so far, with just two wins out of their first 11, beating Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United.
On Tuesday, Coventry travelled to QPR where they fought for a solid 1-1 draw at Loftus Road against the R’s.
Their top goal scorer this season is Haji Wright, who has scored four goals so far, including one in west London on Tuesday night.

Rob Edwards said Walsh is likely to be the only addition to the squad with the manager and it is unlikely any of the players carrying knocks will be available.
Shandon Baptiste, Reece Burke, Amari’i Bell, Teden Mengi and Mads Andersen remain on the comeback trail in their returns.
Last time we met
We last met the Sky Blues in the biggest match in the club’s history, when we secured our historic promotion to the Premier League in the 2022/23 Championship play-off final.
The scoring of the game was opened in the 23rd minute, after some nice feet down the left by Elijah Adebayo, who then cut it back to Jordan Clark and smashed it into the top left of the net.
The game was then taken to a nail-biting period of extra time, following a 66th minute equaliser by Gustavo Hamer for Coventry.
At the very latter stages of extra time, Joe Taylor thought he had won it, however it was disallowed due to a call of handball in the build up to the goal, which forced a penalty shootout.
The penalty shootout then ended 6-5 to the Town, with Fankaty Dabo missing the sixth penalty for the Sky Blues, and Luton were then a Premier League team for the first time ever.
Officials
The referee for our fixture against Coventry City will be Bobby Madley.
24 yellow cards and no red cards have been handed out by Madley across his nine games this season.
We last had a game officiated by Madley when we hosted QPR in August.
Referee: Robert Madley
