Coventry have recorded 11 league-wins this term and their last Championship-win came away to Sheffield Wednesday on January 20. However, a week later, the Sky Blues played out a 1-1 draw with the Owls in the FA Cup fourth round tie, before earning a point from their next two second tier games against the likes of Bristol City (2-2) and Norwich (2-1). Mark Robins’ men returned to winning ways, coincidentally versus Danny Rohl side in the reverse fixture of the FA Cup tie at Coventry Build Society Arena on Wednesday night, thanks to one goal each from Kasey Palmer and Haji Wright either side of Callum O’Hare’s brace. The result extended Coventry’s unbeaten home-run in all competitions to ten games, recording seven wins in the process.
Millwall, on the other hand, are heading into the match off the back of a five-game winless run in all competitions, recording four defeats in the period. Since the narrow 1-0 Championship-victory over Bristol City on New Year’s Day, the Lions lost three successive games in all competitions against the likes of Leicester City, Middlesbrough and QPR, before earning a league-point versus Preston North End on January 27. However, Joe Edwards’ men suffered their 13th second tier defeat against Hull on Saturday courtesy of Jaden Philogene’s lone goal inside the opening five minutes at MKM Stadium.
Coventry City probable starting lineup: Collins, Van Ewijk, Thomas, Binks, Bidwell, Sakamoto, Allen, Torp, Wright, O’Hare, Simms
Millwall probable starting lineup: Sarkic, Tanganga, Harding, Cooper, Norton-Cuffy, De Norre, Saville, Wallace, Watmore, Flemming, Bradshaw
