"Despite eventually settling for a 1-1 stalemate away at Southampton last time out, the former Everton boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Rightfully regarded as the standout title contender this season, Lampard's high-flying squad will be confident of making another statement here. Likewise, gaining a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil, Coventry are unbeaten in all of their first 10 showdowns in the Midlands (nine wins, one draw)."
"Shown a second-half red card away at Southampton last weekend, Wales international Jay Dasilva will miss out through suspension here. Likewise, not featuring over the past month, Coventry are once again expected to be without former West Brom striker Brandon Thomas-Asante on Boxing Day. Failing to notch a Championship strike since the start of October, USA international Haji Wright could be replaced by Ellis Simms in the final third."
Coventry City top the Championship with a six-point lead and aim to widen their buffer on Boxing Day against Swansea. Frank Lampard's side have suffered only two league defeats and are unbeaten in ten home matches (nine wins, one draw). Recent results include a 1-1 draw at Southampton and a 3-1 win over Charlton. Jay Dasilva is suspended after a second-half red card and Brandon Thomas-Asante remains unavailable. Haji Wright has not scored in the Championship since October and could be replaced by Ellis Simms, while Luke Woolfenden is expected to retain his place in defence. Swansea are improving under new boss Vitor Matos.
