"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."
"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 top the Championship with an eight-point cushion after a Boxing Day 1-0 win over Swansea. Frank Lampard's squad have lost only once in their last ten league matches and finished November with a 3-1 victory over Charlton. Coventry have recorded eight consecutive home wins in the Midlands and are considered strong title contenders for 2026. Ipswich, having lost Premier League status last season, began the 2025/26 campaign aiming for an immediate return. Kieran McKenna's side settled for a 0-0 draw at Millwall and are seeking greater stability as they prepare to visit Coventry.
