Coventry City will hope to put an end to their rut in form when Accrington Stanley visit St Andrews on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Mark Robins’ side aim to set an end to their inconsistent form by recording all three points against Stanley.<\/p>\n
The Sky Blues have gone through a rollercoaster ride in form this season.<\/p>\n
Coventry City were unbeaten in Sky Bet League One until Saturday 5 October when they were thumped 4-0 by Rotherham.<\/p>\n
Since then the Midlands-based side have won just once – a 2-1 victory over Fleetwood Town.<\/p>\n
Accrington Stanley, meanwhile, will be desperate to bounce back from consecutive defeats to distance themselves from the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
The Lancashire club are two points clear of the relegation zone; however, back-to-back defeats against Peterborough United and Gillingham have heaped early survival fears into John Coleman’s side.<\/p>\n
The hosts will be without Fankaty Dabo (suspended). John Pask is recovering from an injury so Tennai Watson could be gifted the opportunity to feature at right-back.<\/p>\n
Matty Godden will be unavailable for up to four months with a long-term injury; Wesley Jobello’s unfortunate Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury rules him out for the season.<\/p>\n
Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman revealed his side’s injury concerns ahead of the trip to the West Midlands.<\/p>\n
“Zaine Francis-Angol’s out and Sadou Diallo, we’ll find out if he’s going to be fit for this week.<\/p>\n
“We’re waiting for the all-clear for Joe Maguire.”<\/p>\n
Mark Robins claimed that Accrington Stanley can no longer play along with their ‘underdog’ status after achieving relative success to the Sky Blues.<\/p>\n
“It will be another tough game tomorrow against Accrington who let’s not forget were promoted with us, but they were promoted as champions only a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n
“They look at themselves and play down their achievements, but they are competing on merit because they are a good side managed well by John Coleman.”<\/p>\n
Speaking about his side’s chances at St Andrews, Coleman revelled in Stanley’s form at bigger stadiums.<\/p>\n
He said: “They are playing well, Mark Robins has always got good players and got them well organised.<\/p>\n
“We generally operate well in big stadiums, I’m looking forward to the game and it’s another ground chalked off for me.”<\/p>\n
