Coventry – Nottingham Forest

Coventry, languishing at the foot of the table in 20th place with four defeats and a ten‑goal deficit, will host Nottingham Forest, who sit mid‑table in 12th with five points from one win, two draws and a loss. The visitors have managed to score and concede four goals each, while the Sky Blues have yet to find the net this season. With Coventry desperate for their first point and Forest looking to consolidate their modest haul, the fixture promises a stark contrast between a side fighting for survival and a side hoping to climb further up the standings. Their head‑to‑head record this campaign will be the first meeting, adding an extra layer of intrigue to a clash that could prove pivotal for both clubs.
