Coventry vs Leicester Preview & Prediction (12:30 KO)
As they aim to edge closer to the playoffs, Coventry host Championship leaders Leicester in what is set to be a fascinating renewal of the first game of the season, which ended 2-1 to the Foxes.
The Sky Blues have hit form over the past few weeks and are now on a run of eight games without defeat. After smashing Oxford United 6-2 in the FA Cup last weekend, confidence will be high heading into the M69 derby.
However, no side’s confidence will be as high as Leicester’s with Enzo Maresca’s men sitting pretty at the top of the table 10 points clear of Ipswich in second. They haven’t lost since early November and arrive at the Coventry Building Society Arena in a rich vein of form.
Their march to Championship glory has shown no signs of slowing down over the festive period, with the Foxes collecting 22 points from a possible 24. The new year has also got off to the perfect possible start and last time out in the league they hammered Huddersfield 4-1, before progressing in the FA Cup with a 3-2 win over Millwall.
We should be in for an entertaining affair between two fierce rivals, but Leicester have the class to get the job done. Coventry will be up for it though, so this may prove to be a tricky test for Maresca’s side.
Prediction: Coventry 1-3 Leicester @ 16/1

Coventry vs Leicester Betting Tips (1): Leicester To Win (57/50) & Over 2.5 Goals (10/13)
It’s clear to see that the Foxes are one of the best sides to ever grace the Championship since their relegation from the Premier League last season and they are seriously on a roll.
Whilst Coventry will give the side a stern challenge, Leicester should have what it takes to get over the line and make it nine wins in ten games and we can see the goals flowing.
Maresca’s men have scored the most goals in the Championship whilst conceding the least and look on track to smash records come the end of the season.
We think it’ll be another big win for Leicester with over 2.5 goals in the game.
Coventry vs Leicester Betting Tips (2): Tom Cannon To Score Anytime @ 7/4
It took three months of recovery before Tom Cannon made his Foxes debut, but the 21-year-old is already living up to his potential with three goals in two games since making his first start on New Year’s Day.
The Irish striker scored a brace against Huddersfield to open his account, and he could have had more that day.
He was also heavily involved in the cup win against Millwall last week when he scored a Jamie Vardy-esque goal, peeling off from the last defender and rounding the goalkeeper before slotting home.
He should have a say in proceedings here too, and we are backing Cannon to score anytime @ 7/4, a selection that possesses great value given the forward’s form.
