Frank Lampard has made just one change to his Coventry City side who entertain eighth placed Watford at the CBS Arena this afternoon.

In-form Oliver Dovin continues in goal for the Sky Blues ahead of Brad Collins and fit-again Ben Wilson - who came through 90 minutes in the Under-21s on Friday - while the back three sees the change with Bobby Thomas coming in as a straight swap for Luis Binks, with Joel Latibeaudiere and Liam Kitching continuing in the side.

Milan van Ewijk is once again deployed at right wing-back and Jake Bidwell continues to keep out Jay Dasilva on the left, while Jamie Allen and Victor Torp occupy the deeper midfield roles.

That leaves Jack Rudoni to take up the more attacking midfield slot behind the front two of Brandon Thomas-Asante and Ellis Simms who start their third consecutive match as a partnership in a 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 formation.

The bench sees Norman Bassette and Fabio Tavares as striking options while recalled Jack Burroughs is named amongst the substitutes following his six month loan spell in Scotland.

City: Oliver Dovin; Bobby Thomas, Joel Latibeaudiere, Liam Kitching; Milan van Ewijk, Jamie Allen, Victor Torp, Jake Bidwell; Jack Rudoni; Brandon Thomas-Asante, Ellis Simms.

Subs: Brad Collins (GK); Luis Binks, Jay Dasilva, Josh Eccles, Norman Bassette, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Raphael Borges Rodrigues, Fabio Tavares, Jack Burroughs.
