Player to watch – Haji Wright

Haji Wright was in devastating form for Coventry before the international break and bagged a sensational hattrick for the Sky Blues in their impressive 3-0 win over Sunderland.

Potent Wright can threaten

American forward Wright was a real handful against Sunderland on 15 March 15 and registered six attempts against the Black Cats. The 26-year-old, who has notched seven times in his last nine Championship appearances overall, will be determined to shine against another of the division’s biggest names on Friday evening.
