Coventry City continue their push for promotion as they host Derby County in a key Championship clash at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday.

Under Frank Lampard, the Sky Blues have been in outstanding form, winning seven of their last eight matches. Their only setback in that run came against an in-form Southampton side, but their recent results have firmly placed them in control of the automatic promotion race.

Coventry now require a maximum of 14 points from their final seven fixtures to secure a return to the Premier League, putting them within touching distance of a long-awaited top-flight comeback.

Derby arrive in confident mood themselves, having won four of their last five matches, including back-to-back 1-0 victories. John Eustace’s side currently sit eighth, just three points off the play-off places, and know this is a crucial period in their season.

With a trip to Southampton also on the horizon, the Rams face a defining stretch in their bid to break into the top six, starting with a difficult test against the league leaders.
