MATCH PREVIEW: COVENTRY HOME

Posted on: Fri 05 Feb 2010

Read Adam Baker's big match preview, only on bcfc.co.uk.

OPPOSITION

Coventry have endured a mixed bag of results throughout the season to date, leaving them 16th heading into tomorrow's match against City at Ashton Gate. Such is the tight nature of the division, Coventry are just eight points away from the play-off zone, and seven clear of relegation. Leon Best was sold to Newcastle United in the week, but they still have the striking prowess of Freddy Eastwood and Clinton Morrison in their ranks. Michael McIndoe will return to Ashton Gate for the first time since leaving City in the summer. Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Keiren Westwood is very highly thought of and has been in good form this term.

MANAGER

Chris Coleman has been in charge at the Ricoh Arena since February 2008 when he took over from the sacked Iain Dowie. Played for Swansea City, Crystal Palace, Blackburn Rovers and Fulham in his professional career before it was ended by a car crash. Fulham gave the Welshman his big break in management. Coleman enjoyed four good years in charge at Craven Cottage - with many key players involved such as Edwin van der Sar, Louis Saha and Luis Boa Morte. Also managed at Real Sociedad in Spain.
