Opinions Wanted PleaseLeicester City takes on rivals Coventry City in front of the BBC cameras tomorrow afternoon. Both teams are in the hunt for promotion, but its Leicester who has the far superior chance of getting to the Premier League. Fans like to call this the Chase Utley Jersey M69 derby, and its probably the most anticipated derby game as a Leicester fan.It will most likely bea heated game on Sunday afternoon between these two sides.THE TEAMSLeicester, after losing against Sheffield Wednesday two weeks ago, it seems Leicester have hit full gear againafter that dismal performance against the Owls.Nigel Pearsons side are currently unbeaten in two league games, and after a midweek win against Crystal Palacethey were able to snatch fourth spot on goal difference, Leicesters next step will undoubtedly be catching East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest who are currently sitting in 3rd place. The points gapbetween Leicester and Forest isvery small and if Billy Daviess sidesuffer a shock lo s at home today, and Leicester defeat Coventry tomorrow there will only be one point separating the two sides.Its all in Leicesters hands now they cannot afford a ma sive slip up at this stage of the season, the home form is brilliant; howeverthe away form still looks shabby.Coventry have hit form atthe right time as they currently sit 10th in the Championship table. Many fans thought that Coventry would have another mediocre season and end up finishing in a mid-table spot; however those critics are firmly out of the window at the minute. Only five points off a play-off place, Chris Colemans side need to hit a consistent patch, thats only if they want to try and claim a play-off place at the end of the season. The Sky Blues are currentlyon a very inconsistent run as they have won threematches out of six, and considering they weredoing nicely they have suffered a little blip of form, as they havent won in the league in two games. After an astonishingly poor second half performance against Cardiff in midweek, Coventry needs to regenerate themselves for the match against Leicester.TEAM NEWSLeicester Central defender Wayne Brown could well return for the game against Coventry, however fellow defender Alex Bruce is likely to remain sidelined. Loan signing James Vaughan will also be out for theDerby day clash.Coventry Key midfielder Sammy Clingan could well make a return tomorrow afternoon, as the midfielder has recovered from a calf strain; however former Bristol City winger Michael McIndoe is injured.KEY PLAYERSLeicester Martyn Waghorn. Waghorn proved to be the vital a set in the clash between Coventry and Leicesterearlier in the season. Waghorn scored theFoxes only goal that day as he expertly finished on the half volley. The on loan star will cause the Coventry defence problems, with his power and his pace.Coventry Sammy Clingan. Coventry will be overwhelmed as key player Sammy Clingan has be declared fully fit for this game. In my opinion Clingan is one of the best centre midfielders in this Yasiel Puig Jersey league, and thats coming from a Leicester fan. His set piece deliveries are first cla s, so the Leicester defence will have to be wary of them. Also he likes to get forward quite a lot, so the Leicester midfield will have to close Clingan down as much as they can tomorrow.MATCH PREDICTIONThis game could well be a close one, both teams are fighting for a play-off place but its undoubtedly Leicester whois the better side at the moment. The Foxes home form is brilliant while Coventryis on a decent run, butthe Sky Blueshavefailed to win in two games. Also another stat is Leicester have always beaten rivals Coventry at the Walkers Stadium. This game will most likely have goals in it, and as Leicester have played well at home I am going for, Leicester 3-1 Coventry.MATCH STATSKick Off 2.00pm, SundayDate 21/03/2010Ground Walkers StadiumManagers Nigel Pearson/Chris Coleman
