Coventry Eyes Promotion Despite FA Cup Exit
15 Jan
Summary
- Coventry City leads the Championship with a six-point advantage.
- Leicester City is 12th, four points adrift of play-off contention.
- Coventry City has a six-point lead over second-placed Middlesbrough.

Coventry City returns to Championship action this Saturday, focusing on their promotion aspirations after their FA Cup campaign concluded. The Sky Blues are in a strong position, leading the league by six points over Middlesbrough, despite securing only nine points from their last eight league fixtures. Their upcoming match against Leicester City is crucial for maintaining this advantage.
Leicester City, sitting 12th in the table, is currently four points shy of the play-off spots. While they secured a recent league victory against West Brom, their recent away form has been inconsistent, with only one point gained from their last three road games. However, they did achieve an away win against Cheltenham in the FA Cup last Saturday.
The fixture presents an opportunity for both teams. Coventry aims to solidify its promotion bid by securing points at home, while Leicester seeks to reignite its challenge for a play-off place by improving its away performance against a top-league contender.
