Sky Blues On The Road - Leeds United

Coventry City travel up the M1 for a Boxing Day fixture at Leeds United (kick off 3pm)
Having won their last three games which included their first away win of the season, City travel to Leeds with no more injuries to report.

They are still without Marcus Hall and Stephen Hughes with Micky Adams saying to Sky Blue World: "Matt Heath is fit, Stephen Hughes is not fit for the Christmas period, Stern John is fit and available as is Ady Williams. And you look at the bench the other night and James Scowcroft and Claus Jorgensen are fit so the squad is very adaptable and I can't see me picking the same side for the four games, I think that would be impossible.

"I would think that in the forward areas we've got options so we might freshen that up in the games as they go along. It's one game at a time and we'll go to Leeds and try and win the game and stick with what we know and worry about Crewe afterwards."

Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell has doubts over joint top scorer Rob Hulse but should have Richard Cresswell who normally scores against the Sky Blues available. Gary Kelly is also available but Simon Walton and Liam Miller are suspended. Steve Stone, Frazer Richardson and Gylfi Einarsson are all out.

Referee is Mr C. Webster from Tyne & Wear. Last season, Leeds completed the double over the Sky Blues with the game at Highfield Road proving the final straw for Peter Reid. This is the 76th meeting between the two clubs with City having won only sixteen times with twenty draws.

The police and stewards at Elland Road are known for being problematic. So expect pointless ejections whilst the home fans are free to shout as much abuse ,make death threats etc as they want.
