Coventry City can seal promotion to the Premier League when they face a Blackburn Rovers side still at risk of relegation in Friday night's Championship clash.
It's a bit of a tricky one this, because obviously, you want to draw a line between sentiment and having a squad that's good enough to stay up in the Premier League. My heart says keep all of this squad around, apart from a couple of the fringe players in the Premier League, because they're the ones who got us there, and it was a 25-year wait, so these players, this squad, are going to go down as Coventry legends.
Starting with the hosts, while Norwich might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of what was a record-breaking rut, the Canaries have come roaring back in a sensational fashion on either side of getting the New Year underway. Last seen putting in a stunning performance as they stormed their way to a 5-0 romp away at West Brom, the Norfolk-based outfit are certainly enjoying life under Philippe Clement's guidance.
With the Hammers struggling for goals in the Premier League, Coventry City's in-form striker Ellis Simms has emerged as a key target to lead the line at the London Stadium. According to a recent report from The Telegraph, West Ham have identified Ellis Simms as a primary option to bolster their attacking ranks this winter. While the club has also monitored Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, the financial hurdles for the Norwegian are significant.
