Last updated : 17 March 2006 By Covsupport

Coventry City face another tough game when they take on high-flying Leeds United at the Arena (3pm)

Against one of his former clubs, Micky Adams will be without the services of Dennis Wise who is suspended for two games. Don Hutchison or Kevin Thornton are expected to deputise.

Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell is expected to being back Matthew Kilgallon to replace the suspended Sean Gregan.

The Yorkshire outfit are a bit of a bogey side for the Sky Blues who have only won sixteen times in 76 meetings. The last meeting saw a 3-1 win for Leeds at Elland Road on Boxing Day and will be remembered for the tremendous goal by Don Hutchison. The game will be refereed by Mr C.Oliver from Northumberland.

Tickets are available. Leeds have sold close to 5,000 tickets so expect a heavy police presence. As with most home games lately, you can expect Coventry City Council parking wardens out on the streets, so make sure you park either in a car park or well away from the no parking zone. Take care when travelling to and from the stadium.

There is a road closure order which has come into effect around the Arena. Rowleys Green Road, Cornonel Ave and Judds Lane will be close from 2pm until 6pm for a afternoon kick off. Access will be for permit holders only with all vehicles held back for approximately fifteen minutes after the final whistle to allow pedestrians to leave safely.

Weather-wise, a cold day is forecast. The temperature at kick off time is expected to be four degrees.

City U18's are at home to Millwall in an FA Academy Inter League fixture. The game which kicks off at the Alan Higgs Centre at 11am is expected to be attended by a number of scouts looking at the players Micky Adams has told over the last two weeks that they are releasing.

On Sunday, Coventry City Ladies travel to Long Eaton in a Midland Women's Combination fixture whilst the reserves are at home to Loughborough Students at Henley College.
