"Starting with the hosts, while Coventry might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, Frank Lampard's men are enjoying what has become an iconic Championship fairytale this time around. Last seen over the weekend securing a Boxing Day 1-0 victory at home against Swansea, the Sky Blues are leading the chase at the top of the table and open Monday's fixtures holding a remarkable eight-point buffer over the chasing pack."
"Only continuing to shatter a string of long-standing records, the former Chelsea boss finds his squad installed as a landslide title contender in 2026. Looking to claim a heavyweight Championship scalp here, Coventry have suffered just a single defeat from any of their last 10 consecutive second-tier appearances."
"Signing off November with a routine 3-1 win against Charlton, Lampard's side have also gained a fearsome reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. In fact, the runaway Championship leaders have won all of their last eight straight showdowns in the Midlands - a purple patch that stems all the way back to a 1-1 stalemate against Norwich on September 13th."
Coventry City lead the Championship by eight points and have built momentum under Frank Lampard, including a Boxing Day 1-0 win over Swansea. The Sky Blues have lost just once in their last ten league matches and have won all eight of their most recent home fixtures, dating back to a 1-1 draw with Norwich on September 13. Ipswich, relegated last season, began 2025/26 aiming for an immediate return but produced a 0-0 draw at Millwall and a 3-1 defeat at Leicester. Ipswich have struggled on the road and finished November with a 2-1 loss at Oxford.
