Coventry have gone unbeaten in their previous three matches, which included a 0-0 draw with Birmingham, a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough, and a 0-0 draw with Bristol City. Coventry only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Coventry Building Society Arena in the Championship. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded ten goals.

Coventry entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

In their previous three outings, Burnley won by 2-1 against Bristol City, drew 1-1 with Cardiff, before also drawing 1-1 against Stoke. Burnley, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn three and lost one in their last six away in the Championship.

They were spoken of as contenders for medals before the season, and Burnley are living up to expectations.
