Coming To Cov - Brighton & Hove Albion

Last updated : 03 February 2006 By Covsupport

Coventry City who have moved up to thirteenth in the table take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Arena on Saturday at 3pm.

Against his former club, Micky Adams is likely to be without Richard Duffy who received a knee ligament injury during the 2-1 win at Hull City on Tuesday. Dennis Wise is also a doubt after injuring a shoulder in the same game but could play with Adams saying: "Dennis has not broken anything and it all depends on how sore he is whether he is available. You can never rule Dennis out because he is a little old rat who never feels pain."

Brighton boss Mark McGhee has no fresh injury worries and is expected to field the same team that drew at home to Burnley on Tuesday.

Despite the 2-2 draw in the league earlier in the season and a 1-0 FA Cup victory last month, the Sky Blues have a not too good record against Brighton. This is the 55th meeting between the two clubs with City only having won on fourteen occasions compared to the Seagull’s twenty one. Referee is Uriah Rennie who was in charge of City’s 1-0 win at QPR back in December.

City U18’s face Aston Villa at the Alan Higgs Centre at 11am in a top of the table clash whilst Coventry City Ladies travel to Loughborough Students on Sunday.
