"Starting with the hosts, while Coventry might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, Frank Lampard's high-flying squad have shattered a string of long-standing records this time around. Embarking on what has become a famous fairytale in the Midlands, the Sky Blues are riding a major wave of momentum. Last seen earlier in the week securing a sensational 4-2 victory away at fellow promotion dreamers Middlesbrough, the former Everton boss finds his squad holding a remarkable 10-point buffer at the top of the Championship standings."
"Marking their return from November's International break with a frantic 3-2 win against local rivals West Brom, Coventry have collected 40 points from their first 17 Championship appearances. It should also be highlighted, Saturday's hosts have gained a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Getting November underway with a routine 3-1 victory against Sheffield United, Lampard's record-breakers have already notched a staggering 47 goals so far this season."
"As for the visitors, while Charlton might have opened November in the midst of a rugged run of form, it is fair to say that Nathan Jones' men have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Only making their Championship return this season, the Addicks simply have their sights set on maintaining their second-tier status this time around."
Coventry City sit top of the Championship with a ten-point cushion thanks to an exceptional start under Frank Lampard. Coventry have amassed 40 points from 17 league matches and have scored 47 goals, recording recent victories including 4-2 at Middlesbrough, 3-2 over West Brom and 3-1 against Sheffield United. The Sky Blues combine momentum with a free-scoring forward line and record-breaking performances. Charlton Athletic, newly returned to the Championship, are fighting to avoid relegation under Nathan Jones after heavy defeats such as 3-0 at Stoke and 5-1 versus Southampton and three consecutive league losses.
