Coventry City are one step closer to the Premier League after Monday's 0-0 draw at Hull.

Frank Lampard's side need a minimum of four more points from their remaining five Championship fixtures to seal their top-flight return. And they will like their chances of securing most of them on Saturday when they host already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday at the CBS Arena.
