Steven Pressley's side have made a fine start to the campaign but our tipster anticipates a dour clash when the Sky Blues meet David Weir's out-of-sorts Blades on Sunday

Sheffield United's dismal start to the season continued in midweek when the Blades were knocked out of the Football League Trophy by League Two side Hartlepool and David Weir’s men will seek a much-needed victory when they take on Coventry City at Sixfields Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Blades were amongst the pre-season favourites for promotion but have won only one of their opening 10 league games and are rated as a 5/2 (3.50) chance to claim their second victory of the league season on Sunday.
Coventry City, by contrast, were considered by many as candidates for relegation this term after suffering a 10-point penalty for entering administration in the summer.
Steven Pressley's side, though, have hauled themselves up the league table, collecting a respectable 17 points from their opening 10 matches of the campaign and are chalked up as 19/20 (1.95) favourites with 
William Hill to win again this weekend. The draw is available at 12/5 (3.40) with the same firm.
