Coventry City vs Fulham prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22
The Championship returns this weekend and will see Coventry City host Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
Coventry City were promoted to the Championship last season after nine years away. They finished in a modest 16th-place but have begun this campaign in much more impressive fashion.
Coventry City were defeated 5-0 by Luton Town in their last game, ending a run of four games without defeat. Mark Robin's side sit fourth in the Championship table with 19 points, just three behind West Bromwich Albion at the top of the table. The Sky Blues will be hoping they can return to winning ways at the weekend.
Fulham returned to winning ways last time out as they beat Swansea City 3-1 courtesy of a first-half hat-trick from Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The London club had failed to win any of their three games prior and will be delighted to have picked up all three points against Swansea City.
Fulham sit third in the Championship with 20 points from 10 games. They have scored the most goals in the competition with 22. They will be looking to build on their latest win when they face Coventry City on Saturday.
