Coventry City have failed to win any of their last 22 league games against Preston North End (D8 L14), keeping just two clean sheets in that time since a 2-1 win in September 2007

COVENTRY City claimed a 2-1 home win against Preston North End to end their 17-year wait for a league victory against the Lilywhites.

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has made three changes for this afternoon’s match at Coventry City. Jayden Meghoma, Ryan Ledson and Milutin Osmajic return to the starting lineup as Liam Lindsay, Brad Potts and Emil Riis drop to the bench.

Jack Rudoni has been identified by our Coventry City fan pundit as the main player that Preston North End should be concerned about when the two teams face off at the CBS Arena in a Championship clash on Saturday afternoon.

Earning maximum points from only three of their 16 away outings in the league during 2024-25, Heckingbottom's troops are hardly formidable on the road, but their most recent outing ended in a standout triumph at Carrow Road, where a Milutin Osmajic strike was enough to defeat Norwich City.
