Leicester will face Coventry tomorrow Saturday the 17th of January. The Sky Blues are the current leaders of the Championship and of course a special match for both clubs. Leicester are chasing. In the previous meeting at King Power Stadium, Leicester were close. However, it all ended in a goalless draw.
The January transfer window is fully open at this time. Wout Faes has left Leicester on loan to Monaco. Will Alves has also returned to Huddersfield, scoring in his first game back. No new faces have arrived yet. We do see some movement. Hopefully, one or two new faces will be added.
To demand a win away at Coventry is a tall order. A draw would be more than welcomed as Leicester have shown a lot of different performances. From top to bottom in a scale going wild at times, in both directions.
