Seven changes as key man returns and keeper dropped - Coventry City team to face Leeds United
Mark Robins has made seven changes to his Coventry City side as Ben Sheaf returns to make his first start of the season to face sixth placed Leeds United at Elland Road.
The other big news is that Oliver Dovin has been dropped, replaced by Ben Wilson in goal, who plays behind a back four that sees the central defensive partnership of Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching – in for Luis Binks – on a day when Joel Latibeaudiere comes back into the starting line-up at right-back and Jay Dasilva replaces Jake Bidwell at left-back.
Captain Sheaf makes a welcome come-back in the middle of the park alongside Josh Eccles, while Jack Rudoni continues in the more advanced role. That leaves Milan van Ewijk to push forward to occupy the wide right berth and Ephron Mason-Clark to occupy the opposite flank.
