Venue: Sixfields Stadium
When: Wednesday, July 21
Kick Off: 7.45pm
Competition: Friendly

COVENTRY City travel to Sixfields Stadium this evening as their pre-season preparations for their 2010/11 npower Championship campaign reach the halfway point.

The Sky Blues are coming off the back of two 0-0 stalemates in previous friendlies on UK soil away to both Nuneaton Town and Hinckley United while the Cobblers have won all three of their pre-season clashes to date, the most recent being Saturday's 2-1 away win over Corby Town.

The Sky Blues beat Northampton Town 2-1 on their last visit to Sixfields during 2009/10 pre-season.

CONNECTIONS

FORMER Coventry City defender Marcus Hall was handed a contract at the Cobblers this summer following his release from the Sky Blues after reaching more than 300 league appearances for City.

Hall, who is expected to feature tonight for Northampton, joins former fellow Sky Blues Liam Davis and Kevin Thornton who are also likely to appear.

INJURIES AND BANS

COVENTRY City's Gary Deegan is out with a fractured ankle while James McPake is also not expected to feature as he enters the final stages of his rehabilitation.

Freddy Eastwood could feature though after recovering enough from a pre-season knock to get 45 minutes in the goalless draw with Hinckley United last Saturday.
