A Tuesday night meeting with Fran Lampard FC aka Coventry City, is one to get pulses racing they have been flying this season, although they did get slightly humped on Saturday at Portman Road, scoring goals for fun, pretty miserly at the back apart from Saturday when the high backline was exposed by the Tractors. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/ MANAGER Frank James Lampard (born 20 June 1978) is an English football manager and former midfielder who currently manages EFL Championship club Coventry City. Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time and one of Chelsea's and the Premier League’s greatest ever players, Lampard holds the record of the most Premier League goals (177) by a midfielder in its history. please log in to view this image FORM GUIDE please log in to view this image PNE 10 COVENTRY 16 Signings Kesler - Hayden £4 milliion Top Scorer Thomas-Asante 10

Andrija Vukčević made his return to the bench at the weekend and he’ll be involved again against Coventry, as will Harrison Armstrong who recovered from injury to score as a substitute on Saturday. PNE are still without Ali McCann, Brad Potts, Lewis Gibson, Jamal Lewis, Robbie Brady and Theo Carroll. The Visitors please log in to view this image Coventry City arrive at Deepdale in a fantastic position after 19 matches, sitting top of the table with 43 points, with a nine-point buffer between themselves and the Play-Offs. Frank Lampard’s side have been free-scoring all season long, having netted 50 goals already – unsurprisingly the division's top scorers by some distance. The Sky Blues did, however, suffer a rare setback at the weekend as they were beaten 3-0 by Ipswich Town and they’ll be looking for a reaction on Tuesday at a stadium where they have never won a league fixture.
