Both teams could be playing Premier League football next season, Leeds sat in the Championship’s second automatic promotion place, one point behind leaders Ipswich Town and one point ahead of third-placed Leicester City who have a game in hand.
Coventry, meanwhile, sit on the periphery of the play-offs, the Sky Blues in seventh place and four points behind sixth-placed Norwich City but with a game in hand. Saturday’s contest is huge for both sides but both the Whites and Sky Blues have players either confirmed as out or doubtful. Here, we run through the injuries from both sides ahead of the Saturday afternoon 3pm kick-off at the CBS Arena.

8. Matty Godden (out)
Godden suffered a calf injury in Good Friday's win against Huddersfield Town and watched Monday's defeat at Cardiff from the stands. Boss Robins was hoping Godden would be back available to face Leeds but admitted on Friday that the striker would not make it, adding one more to the list which now stands at eight out between both sides. "He’s still not right so he’ll be missing tomorrow," Robins said. "He’s got a small problem with his calf but it’s been a week now so he should be available sometime next week." Photo: Tony Marshall
9. Ilia Gruev (doubtful)
