PREVIEW: Sky Blues take on Southampton under the lights

City travel to St Mary's Stadium...

9 April 2024

The Sky Blues travel to St Mary's Stadium to take on Southampton in SkyBet Championship action.

Meet The Saints:

Currenlty sat in 4th position in the Championship, the Saints head into the fixture looking to close the gap on the top two, to keep their chances of going up automatically alive.

Despite being 12 points behind Ipswich Town in 2nd, Southampton have two games in hand, which could move them six points behind with five games remaining.

Russell Martin's side have all but confirmed their place in the play-offs, but will be hoping results elsewhere could see them come back into the race for promotion.

Former Coventry City man, Adam Armstrong, leads the scoring for Southampton this season, with 20 goals in all competitions, seven more than strike partner Che Adams.

The Saints were held to a goaless draw at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers last time out, leaving them without a win in their last three outings.
