Frank Lampard’s side lost their final two away games of the season, 3-1 at Plymouth and 1-0 at Luton. A 2-0 home win over Middlesbrough on the final day helped Coventry finish inside the top six.

Coventry Injuries
Goalkeeper Oliver Dovin, midfielder Victor Torp and forward Norman Bassette are sidelined with injuries.
Verdict
Sunderland looked much more threatening in front of goal at Coventry in the semi-final first leg. The Sky Blues need to claw back into this clash and sticking with more goals is the best bet.
