West Brom vs Coventry

Mark Robins has stuck with an unchanged Coventry City side to face West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns tonight.

Although Sky Blues defender Kyle McFadzean has been back in full training this week after recovering from a calf tear, the match against the Baggies has come too soon for the influential centre-back who hasn't make the matchday squad.

And there's still no sign of Michael Rose who sat out the Huddersfield win due to illness, so the manager has kept faith with Burnley loan man Luke McNally on the right of the back three, with Callum Doyle and Jonathan Panzo completing the trio.
