Sunderland v Coventry City: Latest team news, TV/Live Stream, tickets, kick-off time | OneFootball

The Championship throws up an intriguing clash at an intriguing time this weekend as Sunderland host Coventry City on Saturday afternoon.

Both clubs featured in the play-offs last season, but currently, neither occupy a spot in the top six.

Sunderland, for example, sit seventh, and this is set to be a significant match for the Black Cats, with new boss Michael Beale taking charge of his first match.

The Black Cats come into this one on the back of defeat away at Bristol City last weekend.

Coventry City, meanwhile, have quite rightly stuck by their boss Mark Robins despite not being as lofty in the table as might have been expected at the start of the season.

The Sky Blues sit 16th in the Championship ahead of the weekend, and although without a win in their last two, they did earn respectable draws against Southampton and Leeds United.

With the above said, it promises to be an interesting match, and no doubt a competitive one come Saturday afternoon.

As such, below, we've covered some key details ahead of the fixture below.

Sunderland v Coventry City team news

With neither manager yet to speak to the press ahead of the fixture, we are left to speculate regarding the very latest team news at this stage.

All eyes will be on the Sunderland lineup come its announcement, though, with supporters no doubt keen to find out which XI Beale selects for his first game in charge.

What we do know is that the club will be without Corry Evans, and are also likely to be without the likes of Aji Alese, Timothee Pembele, Jay Matete and Dennis Cirkin as they all build up their fitness.

Coventry and Mark Robins, meanwhile, have plenty of options to choose from.

Last time out, Mark Robins left out the likes of Haji Wright, Callum O'Hare and Matty Godden, so it will certainly be interesting to see if they return to the starting XI on Saturday.
