Head-To-Head, Recent Form, Team News, and the Latest Betting Odds, ahead of Saturday's Championship match between Leicester and Coventry City.
Leicester (7th) and Coventry City (16th) have met 83 times previously, with Leicester having won 35 times, Coventry having won 25 times, and 23 matches have ended in a draw.
The last three fixtures between the sides ended in draws (1-1, 2-2, and 1-1), with both sides winning the home game 2-0 previous to that. Coventry have only beaten Leicester once in their last 13 attempts.
Coventry City have managed only one league win since beating Middlesboro on December 4th, whereas Leicester's defeat against Cardiff in the week ended a run of five successive victories (Leicester have refused Coventry City's request for them to wear a Crystal Palace kit for the day).
David Bell might be in the Coventry starting XI (Insert own comment here), while Clingan and Platt might also be available. For Coventry City loanee Patrick van Aanholt is expected to start at left-back for Leicester, who expect to have a fully fit squad to choose from.
Leicester are 1/2 to win, while Coventry City are a fairly huge 6/1 to win. The draw is 3/1. Leicester half-time, Coventry full-time is 40/1, while Coventry half-time, Leicester full-time is 28/1. Leicester half-time, Leicester full-time is evens.
2-1 to Leicester is 7/1, 2-1 to Coventry is 20/1. Leciester to win 3-1 is 9/1, while Coventry to win by the same margin is 50/1. Somebody's obviously done their homework.
Yakubu, 7/2; Gallagher, 9/2; Waghorn, Vassell, and Howard, all 5/1, are on the first goalscorer list before 7/1 Marlon King gets a mention. Roy O'Donovan is 11/1 (Always fairly high up on the list, but never actually on the pitch....).
