Coventry vs Bradford AFC preview - Same again for Mowbray

Coventry boss Tony Mowbray is expected to select his starting XI for the home game against Bradford from an unchanged squad.

Mowbray has no new injury or suspension problems following his first game in charge, which ended in a 3-2 home defeat to Port Vale on Saturday.

Midfielder Conor Thomas, sidelined since mid-January due to a back injury, is edging closer to action after returning to training, but defender Reda Johnson (thigh) will be out for another three to four weeks.

Forward James Maddison is still unavailable due to growing-related back trouble and Jordan Willis is still absent.

Ben Williams will retain his place in goal for Bradford after Jordan Pickford's recall by parent club Sunderland.

Pickford had started all of Bradford's league fixtures this season after arriving in the summer, while Williams has stepped in for the cup games, including Saturday's goalless FA Cup quarter-final draw against Reading.

Parkinson is expected to utilise his squad after the cup stalemate with the likes of Andy Halliday, Mark Yeates, Matty Dolan and Gary MacKenzie in contention to return.

Winger Filipe Morais returned from a three-game absence to start against Reading following a knee injury, but was withdrawn in the 76th minute and will be assessed.
