Crystal Palace will be looking to continue their fine form against Coventry City when they travel to the Ricoh Arena tomorrow.

The Eagles are undefeated in nine games against the Sky Blues and have won all four matches they have played at the Arena scoring 12 goals in the process.

Earlier this week, Coventry manager Chris Coleman said the game would be a cup final for his players, who have taken just one point from last five games, but Palace boss Neil Warnock said his players would be equally pumped up.

"I know how the tough the game will be," he said.

"He will have them fired up but we are fired up too and we are looking to win it."

Sean Scannell will miss the game having picked up a hamstring injury on international duty, while Claude Davis did not play for Jamaica against South Africa and should be available.

Paddy McCarthy and Calvin Andrew are expected to need more time to recover from shoulder and knee injuries.
