Coventry's last home game was a confidence-boosting 5-0 FA Cup win against Maidstone United and Mark Robins' team will be looking for similar attacking joy against the Championship's rock bottom side, Rotherham.

The Sky Blues will also see this as a must-win game as they try to close the five-point gap to the play-off places.

Meanwhile, Rotherham are 19 points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, having lost their last seven league games since a 1-1 draw away to Middlesbrough in January.

Having said that, the reverse fixture is one of just three league games that Leam Richardson's side have won all season.

But the Millers - who are without an away win since November 2022 - have never recorded a league double against Coventry, last winning back-to-back games against this evening's opponents in 2003.

Having both just missed out on the play-off places last season, these teams would have been bitterly disappointed if you had told them they would be fighting off relegation the following year.

But, both Blackburn and Millwall sit just a point above the drop zone, with Rovers only ahead of tonight's visitors to Ewood Park on goals scored.

With two victories from two games since returning as Millwall boss, Neil Harris has one more win in his current job than John Eustace, who has taken charge of seven matches in all competitions.

Blackburn have also won just one of their last six home league games, but the Lions haven't taken away three points from their hosts' ground since November 2012.

However, Harris appears keen to push his side to start matches strongly, with both games under his leadership seeing Millwall score within the first five minutes.

By contrast, Blackburn have conceded the first goal in their last three fixtures.

Sheffield Wednesday’s bid to avoid an immediate return to League One took another positive turn last Saturday, as they beat Championship basement club Rotherham for their third win in a row to move within three points of safety.

The Owls have been in the relegation zone since the second round of games this season but with the clubs immediately above them now bunching together, if they pick up more points tonight they’ll remain very much in the mix.

Plymouth, in 16th, are among that tight crop of clubs also fighting for survival. They’ve won three of their 11 games since Ian Foster took over in January and are only two points above the drop zone.

The current form guide doesn’t look great either - only Watford and Rotherham have taken fewer than their four points in the last six games.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Championship there's some big business going on this evening...

Stoke City's slide into Championship difficulties has been far from what Steven Schumacher hoped when he swapped Plymouth's pasties for the Potteries plight mid-season.

The Potters just managed to stem their downward trajectory with the weekend's 2-0 win over Middlesbrough, a welcome respite after a run of six defeats in seven and a tumble into the bottom-three - where they remain.

Still, not a night to be heading to Elland Road, where Daniel Farke's Leeds United have put the hammer down and zoomed into the automatic promotion picture on the back of nine wins from 10.

Huddersfield whacked a stick in the spokes by pinching a point from them in Sunday's derby, but the Whites have an immediate chance to put pressure on second-placed Ipswich and leaders Leicester above with victory tonight.

Two points separate them from the Tractor Boys and five for the Foxes. Tonight's games have such importance, even at this stage.

Three defeats in a row is near-crisis territory for Leicester City given their seemingly relentless march towards a Premier League return for much of the season.

The mood isn't quite as blue as the tones of their home colours but it's verging on panic stations.

Good job for Enzo Maresca's wobbling league-leaders that they're away to a Sunderland side hardly bristling with confidence either.

The Wearsiders have lost their past four in the Championship and are now nine points off the top six.

They've lost seven games at home this season, which shows having 40,000-plus crowds is no guarantee of a stadium becoming a fortress.

Fans fear the loss of Jack Clarke to injury for six weeks is essentially the end of their challenge this term. Mike Dodds might have to find a plan B to test Leicester.
