Coventry City form (last 5): 2W-0D-3L. Crystal Palace form (last 5): 1W-0D-4L.

Coventry's attack is hampered by the long-term absence of Haji Wright (muscle injury) and Ephron Mason-Clark. Frank Onyeka and Bobby Thomas are late fitness tests, potentially leaving the midfield thin. Palace is missing leading physical presence Jean-Philippe Mateta due to suspension, though Nketiah’s recent penalty-scoring form mitigates this.

Coventry City face a significant injury crisis with top scorer Haji Wright ruled out and key defenders Aurele Amenda and Luke Woolfenden sidelined, forcing a reliance on the in-form Jack Rudoni. 2. Crystal Palace are bottom of the league but receive a boost as Jørgen Strand Larsen returns from injury to join Eddie Nketiah, though they remain without the suspended Jean-Philippe Mateta. 3.
