Follow live coverage as Swansea City face Coventry City in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Frank Lampard has named an unchanged Coventry City side to face Swansea in what’s expected to be a feisty affair in South Wales after this week’s transfer switch, with the Swans’ best player, Matt Grimes, signing for the Sky Blues.

Grimes was formally announced as a Coventry player on Friday and left the Swansea.Com Stadium after a decade of service. Having not missed a game since March 2023, his former team-mates looked lost without him. Swansea are now without a win in seven games this year and have lost their last four Sky Bet Championship matches to stay in 17th.

Swansea City fell to defeat at the Swansea.com Stadium as two first-half goals gave Coventry City victory. Ellis Simms and Brandon Thomas-Asante were on the scoresheet for the Sky Blues as they beat the Swans for the first time in 44 years.

Coventry City travel to Swansea City on Saturday afternoon, looking to extend their three-game winning run. The Sky Blues are 12th in the Championship and six points off the play-off spots, having lost just one of their past seven games (W4 D2).

Express Sport understands that Swansea chiefs are weighing up moves for either Bolton Wanderers star Josh Sheehan, Barnsley man Luca Connell or Peterborough United skipper Hector Kyprianou in a bid to replace Grimes.
