• Fixture: Coventry City vs Sheffield United

• Date: Tuesday, 04 November 2025

• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT

• Venue: The Coventry Building Society Arena

Coventry City are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having won four out of their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, especially in their recent 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield United, on the other hand, have been a bit up and down, with only two wins in their last five. This could be a game where Coventry's attacking flair meets Sheffield's inconsistent defence, making for an exciting clash.

Sheffield United will need to tighten up at the back if they want to get anything from this game. Their recent losses show they can be vulnerable, especially away from home. Coventry, playing in their own back yard, will look to exploit this and continue their impressive streak. It's going to be a battle, but Coventry's current momentum might just see them through.

Coventry City are in fine fettle, having won four of their last five matches. Their recent victories, including a 5-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday, show they're in great scoring form. This confidence could be crucial when they face Sheffield United. With players like Haji Wright and Brandon Thomas-Asante leading the line, they'll be looking to add to their goal tally. Expect them to come out all guns blazing, aiming to keep their excellent run going.

Sheffield United have had a mixed bag recently, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. Their defence has been leaky, as seen in their recent losses to Derby County and Preston North End. This could be a problem against a confident Coventry side. They'll need to be at their best to get anything from this game. The absence of Gustavo Hamer due to a knee injury is a blow for Sheffield United. However, they have shown they can still win games, as seen in their victories over Blackburn Rovers and Watford. If they can shore up their defence, they might just pull off a surprise result.

• Loss: 2-3 vs Preston North End (A)

The head-to-head record between these two teams has been closely contested recently. Both United and Coventry have won two of the last five encounters, including a 3-1 victory for Sheffield in their most recent meeting. However, Coventry have shown they can get results as well, with a 4-1 win and a 1-0 victory in previous matches. This adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming game.
