Coventry may not have been at their free-flowing best during Monday's goalless draw at Hull City - but it does leave them tantalisingly close to promotion to the Premier League. The Sky Blues may even get over the line on Saturday if they beat already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday at the CBS Arena and the chasing pack drop points - again. "It may not get us absolutely over the line, but we will know it makes it a lot, lot closer." Even stats specialists Opta think it's a done deal, with their prediction table giving Coventry a 100% chance of promotion. But if the Sky Blues are, indeed, all but up - who will join them in second place?
