Frank Lampard has named his Coventry City team to face West Brom

Coventry City team news from CoventryLive as Frank Lampard names his starting line-up to face the Baggies

Frank Lampard has stuck with a winning team as Coventry City go in search of their first away win in eight long league games in today’s lunchtime clash at West Bromwich Albion (12.30pm).

In fact, the only change to the matchday squad from Monday night’s magnificent victory over Middlesbrough is on the bench, where former Albion striker Brandon Thomas-Asante returns from a three match suspension to replace winger Jahnoah Markelo amongst the subs.

That means an unchanged back four, including the continued central defensive partnership of Bobby Thomas and Joel Latibeaudiere for a second game running, with Milan van Ewijk and Jay Dasilva either side at full-back and Carl Rushworth in goal.

Frank Onyeka makes his second start for the Sky Blues as he is once again partnered alongside skipper Matt Grimes in midfield after his impressive and influential debut against Boro, while Tatsuhiro Sakamoto will operate on the right flank and Ephron Mason-Clark on the left.

That leaves Jack Rudoni to continue in the number ten role behind lone striker Haji Wright who will be desperately hoping to back-up his hat-trick from earlier in the week with another goal or two at The Hawthorns.

Elsewhere, Ellis Simms and Romain Esse provide attacking support from the bench where, for a second game running, there is no room for Tottenham loan man Min-Hyoek Yang.

City: Carl Rushworth; Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Joel Latibeaudiere, Jay Dasilva; Frank Onyeka, Matt Grimes; Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Jack Rudoni, Ephron Mason-Clark; Haji Wright.

Subs: Ben Wilson (GK), Liam Kitching, Luke Woolfenden, Jake Bidwell, Josh Eccles, Victor Torp, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Romain Esse, Ellis Simms.
