Prediction

  • Sunderland struggled to pose a significant threat to Preston goalkeeper Freddie Woodman in midweek as the two sides played out a goalless draw at Deepdale. The Championship league leaders are now unbeaten in their last seven outings, although Regis Le Bris will be keen to end a run of back-to-back draws this weekend.
  • Coventry restricted Derby to just three shots on Wednesday night, but an early Jerry Yates goal was followed up by a late Bobby Thomas own goal as the Sky Blues suffered a gut-wrenching defeat on home turf. Mark Robins' men now face an even tougher test against the league leaders on Saturday.
