Coventry could spruce up their frontline for the Sky Bet League One home game with Swindon.
French striker Maxime Biamou has failed to score in 22 league outings and seems set to make way. Veteran Stuart Beavon and teenager Jordan Ponticelli and Josh Barrett are all vying for starting spots. Liam Kelly and Peter Vincenti hope to return to the matchday squad following injuries.
Swindon will still be without Chris Hussey, although they have received positive news about the on-loan Sheffield United defender. Hussey has been out for a number of weeks with a hernia, but has now gone under the knife and a return is just weeks away.
Amine Linganzi and Timi Elsnik will also be absent for boss David Flitcroft. Linganzi is out with a "medium-term" injury while Elsnik has been back at parent club Derby for treatment on a hamstring problem.
Coventry's 2-1 victory against Swindon in the reverse fixture earlier this season, ended a run of 13 Football League matches without a win against the Robins (D5 L8).
Swindon have avoided defeat in each of their previous seven trips to Coventry in all competitions (W4 D3) having won just one of their previous 10 away matches against the Sky Blues (D2 L7).
Coventry have won three consecutive league matches at the Ricoh Arena having previously gone four home matches without a victory (D2 L2).
However, Swindon have won five of their last six matches on the road in League Two (L1) scoring at least two goals in each of those matches.
Luke Norris has bagged five goals in his last nine League appearances for The Robins. In fact, Norris hasn't gone two games without a league goal since October, and his 11 goals this season already represent his best ever scoring return in an EFL season.
