Coventry will have the chance to close the gap on Championship leaders Middlesbrough when they travel to the Den to take on Millwall on Wednesday night. The visitors are currently four points behind Boro in second place, and those two teams remain the only ones unbeaten in the league so far.
Meanwhile, Millwall will have their own ambitions as they are currently in 10th spot, but would leapfrog Coventry with a win themselves. Nonetheless, we are expecting an interesting encounter when these two sides face off against each other.
