As has been typical this season, Coventry struck late on to claim victory with goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Martyn Waghorn condemning Middlesbrough to a 2-0 defeat. The Sky Blues have registered four wins so far this season and believe that playoffs are a serious possibility. Cardiff headed into half time against Nottingham Forest trailing 1-0, but the Welsh side had youngster Rubin Colwill to thank at the full time whistle as his brace helped secure a 2-1 away victory. The Bluebirds have now won three and drawn two of their opening six league games. 2:1
Mark Robins could make a single change for the visit of Cardiff in midweek with central midfielder Ben Sheaf returning to the starting XI in place of Jamie Allen. The hosts have two confirmed absentees with Tyler Walker and Liam Kelly both still ruled out. Ciaron Brown is back fit for the away side, but there will be no midweek action for Ryan Giles, who will miss out through injury. Rubin Colwill and Kieffer Moore both made an impact from the bench at the weekend and will be handed starts in midweek.
