Correct score prediction: Coventry 2-1 Millwall
Millwall granted Lampard his first win as Coventry boss at the start of this month, and we think they will give him his fourth on Sunday afternoon.
Coventry have been up-and-down, and leaky at the back, but they are in better form than the Londoners who come into this in very poor form.

Coventry preview: Goals galore
They may have had trouble keeping them out, but Coventry City have had no issue socring goals under new boss Lampard.
The Sky Blues have scored in all but one of their six matches under the England and Chelsea legend, with four last time out in a thumping win over Plymouth.
What will excite fans most though, is that they are yet to add star man Haji Wright into the mix, though this game will likely come too soon for him.
Predicted lineup: Dovin (GK), van Ewijk, Thomas, Latibeaudiere, Bidwell, Eccles, Sheaf, Sakamoto, Rudoni, Mason-Clark, Bassette

Millwall preview: Can they stop the slump?
After an excellent run in October that had them flying high, Millwall have had a disastrous November and December.
Club legend Neil Harris is no longer manager, ending a remarkable fifth spell at the club.
The Lions picked up a precious and surprising win over Blackburn in caretaker boss Neil Livermore's first game in charge, but normal service was promptly resumed with a Boxing Day defeat at Norwich.
Predicted lineup: Jensen (GK), Leonad, Tanganga, Wallace, Bryan, de Norre, Saville, Azeez, Esse, Watmore, Ivanovic

Player to watch: Ephron Mason-Clark
Our player to watch in this one is Coventry's flying winger Ephron Mason-Clark. After a slow start to life at Coventry, the former Peterborough man has exploded into life under Lampard.
In his last six games, Mason-Clark has scored four and assisted three, having a hand in 70% of his side's goals.
