Coventry come into this match with a strong run of form, having won four of their last five games. Their recent victories, including a convincing 4-2 win away at Middlesbrough, suggest they have the confidence and momentum to take on Charlton. With a predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, Coventry's attacking options, led by the likes of Eccles and Simms, could pose a significant threat to Charlton's defence.

Charlton, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing three of their last five matches. Their most recent defeat was a 0-3 loss to Stoke City, which might affect their confidence going into this game. With a predicted 3-1-4-2 setup, Charlton will need to be more solid at the back and hope that Carey and Leaburn can find the net to turn their fortunes around. However, based on current form, Coventry look the more likely to come out on top.

• Predicted lineup: Rushworth (GK), van Ewijk (DF), Thomas (DF), Kitching (DF), Dasilva (DF), Grimes (MF), Torp (MF), Sakamoto (MF), Eccles (MF), Thomas-Asante (MF), Simms (AT)

Coventry are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Rushworth in goal and a back four of van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, and Dasilva. This setup should provide a solid defensive base while allowing the likes of Sakamoto and Eccles to push forward and support the attack led by Thomas-Asante and Simms.

• Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Ramsay (DF), Gillesphey (DF), Jones (DF), Coventry (MF), Bree (MF), Berry (MF), Docherty (MF), Campbell (MF), Carey (AT), Leaburn (AT)

Charlton are likely to deploy a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Kaminski between the posts and a back three of Ramsay, Jones, and Gillesphey. This formation should offer defensive stability, with Coventry anchoring the midfield and allowing the attacking quartet of Bree, Berry, Docherty, and Campbell to support the forwards Carey and Leaburn.

• Josh Eccles vs Lloyd Jones: Eccles' pace and movement will test Jones' defensive capabilities.

• Matt Grimes vs Greg Docherty: Grimes' control in midfield will be crucial against Docherty's tenacity.

• Tyreece Campbell (Charlton): Campbell's goal-scoring threat will be vital for Charlton to get back to winning ways.
