Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home · promoted

Coventry City

Coventry are newly promoted and still getting used to the speed of the top flight. Look for a deep, compact block at Coventry Building Society Arena, long periods without the ball and most of their danger from set pieces.

Away

Sunderland

Sunderland are likely to sit in a compact shape on the road at Coventry Building Society Arena and wait for a single opening rather than chase control.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Coventry field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Sunderland score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
