Four Changes As Mark Robins Names His Coventry City Team To Face Watford

Mark Robins has made four changes and it looks like a formation switch to his Coventry City side to face fifth placed Watford at Vicarage Road.

The bad news is that Ben Sheaf and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto have failed to recover sufficiently from their respective ankle injuries and are not included in the matchday squad as the Sky Blues go in search of their first Championship win away from home this term.

Oliver Dovin continues in goal but there are changes at the back where Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching return on a day when Luis Binks drops to the bench and Joel Latibeaudiere continues in the side, suggesting three at the back to match up the Hornets.

That would mean Milan van Ewijk being deployed at right wing-back while Jay Dasilva comes in for Jake Bidwell on the left.

Josh Eccles and Victor Torp continue in the middle of the park where the manager could well play with a box midfield, with Jack Rudoni and Ephron Mason-Clark playing in the more advanced positions behind lone striker Ellis Simms.

That leaves Haji Wright, Brandon-Thomas Asante, Fabio Tavares and Norman Bassette as attacking back-up from the bench.

City: Oliver Dovin; Bobby Thomas, Joel Latibeaudiere, Liam Kitching; Milan van Ewijk; Josh Eccles, Victor Torp; Jay Dasilva; Jack Rudoni, Ephron Mason-Clark; Ellis Simms.

Subs: Ben Wilson (GK), Luis Binks, Jake Bidwell, Jamie Allen, Haji Wright, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Fabio Tavares, Norman Bassette, Kai Andrews.
