Leicester are adjusting to life back in the Championship and look determined to push for automatic promotion. They have three wins, one draw, and one defeat from five matches, showing both resilience and attacking promise. Last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Oxford, despite going down to 10 men early, highlighted their fighting spirit.
With two goals scored in four of their last six games, the Foxes’ frontline has been reliable, and playing at home should give them a strong platform to extend their unbeaten run.

Coventry started the season in explosive fashion, netting 12 goals across back-to-back games against Derby and QPR. Though they’ve slowed slightly with three consecutive draws in all competitions, they remain unbeaten in the Championship.
A dramatic stoppage-time equalizer earned them a 1-1 draw with Norwich last weekend, underlining their ability to fight until the end. However, their defensive discipline will be tested heavily against Leicester’s sharp attack at the King Power.
MatchPlug Prediction on Leicester vs Coventry City
Both teams have shown attacking firepower early in the season, with Leicester consistent in front of goal and Coventry capable of scoring in bunches. Defensive lapses on both sides could open the door for goals.
