Coventry keep faith with the side that earned the point they needed for a play-off spot against today's opponents in last week's dress rehearsal.

There's one change on the bench, with Sean Maguire replacing Tyler Walker.

Middlesbrough have also named an unchanged starting XI for the trip to the West Midlands, although they do have some good news on the injury front as Dael Fry and Marcus Forss return to the bench.

Coventry: Wilson, McNally, McFadzean, Doyle, Norton-Cuffy, Hamer, Kelly, Eccles, Bidwell, Godden, Gyokeres

Subs: Moore, Panzo, Allen, Wilson-Esbrand, Sheaf, Maguire, Dabo

Middlesbrough: Steffen, Smith, McNair, Lenihan, Giles, Hackney, Mowatt, Jones, Akpom, McGree, Archer

Subs: Fry, Barlaser, Dijksteel, Forss, Roberts, Crooks, Bola

Earlier this season, both these teams were in the relegation zone. Mad to think isn't it?

Coventry's rise is down to stability, at least on the football side. Despite the off-field issues surrounding the stadium and takeovers, Mark Robins has been allowed to get on with the job, and that faith has been rewarded.

Middlesbrough took the plunge and went for a new gaffer, out went Chris Wilder and in came Michael Carrick. It was a revelation. Boro soared, the goals flowed and the crowds flocked.

Both teams have worked hard to get here. Who will come out with rewards?

The play-offs are up and running and nowhere are the stakes higher than in the Championship.

It was advantage Sunderland in their first-leg semi-final against Luton yesterday, as sixth beat third.

Can Coventry, another side whose end-of-season dash up the table has coincided with a run for promotion, give similar treatment to Middlesbrough - whose place has been sealed for a few weeks?

Will it be Play Up Sky Blues that rings out around the CBS Arena, or will Boro's Pigbag anthem have the away end bobbing along nicely?

We shall find out in the next couple of hours or so.
