Rose starts: How we expect Coventry City to line up against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday

Coventry City travel to Nottingham Forest tomorrow night for a fixture where both teams will see three points as vitally important.

Coventry currently sit 11th in the league and eight points away from the play-offs. Meanwhile Forest are seventh in the league and only a point away from Blackburn in sixth.

For the Sky Blues, the play-offs now look a steep task and three points from this game will be the way to keep their hopes alive.

However, Forest will be looking to go on a run of form themselves in the final games of the season to try and maximise use of their games in hand and therefore will be looking to carry this on from their massive 4-1 victory against Blackpool at the weekend.

Here, we take a look at how Coventry might line-up as they prepare for a trip to the City Ground.

We expect Mark Robins to name an unchanged line-up from his side’s game against Blackburn last weekend in which the Sky Blues got a 99th minute equaliser.

Number one Simon Moore remains in goal for his side and he will be hoping him and his defence can put in a strong performance which doesn’t allow Forest to score four like they did at the weekend.

The makeshift back three remains the same from last week. With Jake Clarke-Salter’s injury seeing him out for the rest of the season, Robins is relying on Jake Bidwell’s versatility as he drops back. He is joined alongside Dominic Hyam and Michael Rose in.

After suffering with Covid, whether or not Rose would be able to return last week was unsure but he was able to play and we see him remain in the line-up.

The midfield four remain the same with Fankaty Dabo, Gus Hamer, Jamie Allen and Ian Maatsen. Since Bidwell has dropped back, Maatsen has come into the line-up to fill in for him. Dabo, Allen and
