Overview
- Ephron Mason-Clark’s strike earned a 1-0 victory over Swansea, securing Coventry’s eighth consecutive home win.
- Coventry top the Championship on 51 points after 23 matches, eight clear of second place and 13 ahead of third in the two-berth promotion race.
- Opta notes Coventry are only the second team since 2004/05 to record 50-plus points and 50-plus goals after 23 games, a feat previously matched by Wolves in 2008/09.
- Lampard said he rotated his forwards for the festive run and, when asked about reinforcements, conceded January additions would help a stretched squad.
- Brandon Thomas-Asante has missed six straight matches with a tendon injury and, as scoring has slowed, recent results have been secured by tighter defending.
