Kasey Palmer makes a run towards the 18-yard line and tees up Matty Godden.

But his Coventry team-mate can't quite swing a shot past Leicester keeper Mads Hermansen.

Wout Faes brings down Coventry's Callum O'Hare in midfield and the hosts win a free kick.

The Sky Blues have had most of the possession in the early stages but a cheap pass sees them play the ball straight back to Leicester.

Groans ring around the ground.

It's chilly but sunny in the Midlands. A classic January winter's afternoon.

Hat, gloves, at least three layers and shades all required.

And the sky is a vivid shade of, well, quite literally, sky blue.

But a pre-match sausage sandwich has been gratefully consumed. And now to the serious business of whether Coventry City can put a stop to all conquering Leicester City's winning ways.

They had a right good go on the opening weekend of the season at Leicester when they outplayed the hosts only to get ambushed by two late goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

But, for all the Foxes' dominance of this season's Championship, Coventry are on a decent streak themselves, eight games unbeaten.

Norwich City closed to within two points of the Championship play-off places as Jonathan Rowe's brilliant goal helped them to a Friday night victory at Hull City.

Rowe's first half strike and Christian Fassnacht's second put the Canaries in control late on before Tyler Morton grabbed what proved to be a consolation for the Tigers in stoppage time.

The win moved Norwich up five places to eighth in the table, a single point behind Hull in seventh, who suffered their fourth defeat in five games.
