How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home · promoted
Coventry City
Coventry are in their first season back and still learning the pace of the division. Expect a compact shape at Coventry Building Society Arena, long spells without the ball and danger from set pieces.
Away
Chelsea
Chelsea are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball on their trip to Coventry Building Society Arena and pin Coventry back for long periods.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Chelsea name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Coventry score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Coventry vs Chelsea
Coventry City take on Chelsea in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Chelsea's way. The gap in expected goals (0.95 for Coventry, 2.05 for Chelsea) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 63% for Chelsea. Coventry's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
