Coventry City bid to take a step closer to promotion when the Championship leaders face Hull City this evening.
Frank Lampard’s side are closing in on a return to the Premier League after a 25-year absence. Coventry have won eight of their last nine league games to open up a 12-point gap to third-place Middlesbrough.
However, opponents Hull also have ambitions of playing Premier League football next season. The home side are fifth and fighting to hold onto a play-off position.
