Sky Blues On The Road - West Ham United

Last updated : 08 April 2005 By Covsupport

Two homes wins for the Sky Blues and the mood is upbeat as City travel to West Ham United.

City boss Micky Adams could have Stephen Hughes back after a scan revealed that he had only suffered bruising during the midweek win over Nottingham Forest. The popular City skipper will have a fitness test on Saturday morning and may well return.

Claus Jorgensen has a rib injury and is out but apart from that there are no fresh injury worries for the City boss.

They face a West Ham side who have hit form, picking up another victory at Burnley in midweek. Although, this is still not good enough for the Hammers fans who are organising a sit-in protest on the final whistle.

Alan Pardew could welcome back Christian Dailly who has been out since August whilst Hayden Mullens is expected to keep his place in midfield.

The referee is Mr I.Williamson from Berkshire.

City fans are housed in the Centenary Stand. Admission is £24.
