The action continues in round 14 of the EFL Championship as Coventry City and Sheffield United square off at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday. The Sky Blues are one of just two sides yet to suffer defeat at home this season and will be looking to extend this impressive run.
High-flying Coventry City were condemned to their first Championship defeat of the season as they were beaten 3-2 by Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground.
Frank Lampard’s side had won each of their previous six matches and were unbeaten in nine consecutive games (6W 3D) since a 2-1 defeat against Millwall in the EFL Cup second round on August 26.
Coventry have picked up eight wins and four draws from their 13 Championship matches so far to collect 28 points and sit top of the league table, three points above second-placed Middlesbrough.

Sheffield have lost 10 of their 13 league matches, picking up three wins so far to collect nine points and sit 22nd in the standings, three points behind 21st-placed Southampton outside the relegation zone.
