Coventry entertain Stoke City at the Ricoh Arena in a pivotal game for both sides’ Championship playoff aspirations tonight.
The Sky Blues currently occupy 10th place in the Championship table with 37 points gained from 25 games.
Tonight’s opponent, Stoke City have 38 points having played one extra match, and both teams have games in hand on the teams currently occupying 8th to 5th place: Nottingham Forest, Middlesborough, Huddersfield, and West Bromwich Albion.
This means that should either one of the Sky Blues or the Potters emerge with the spoils this evening and then, potentially, go on a bit of a run, winning their respective games in hand, both sides have a realistic chance of getting back into the playoff bracket and pushing towards promotion for next season’s Premier League.
