Coventry City vs Brighton preview
Coventry will assess defenders Chris Hussey and Cyrus Christie ahead of their New Year's Eve clash against Brighton at the Ricoh Arena.Hussey was forced off at half-time in Coventry's 1-0 Boxing Day victory at home to Bristol City nursing an ankle injury while Christie was also replaced five minutes from time nursing a knock.
Midfielder Gary Deegan returned into contention and stepped off the bench at half-time to replace Gael Bigirimana before bagging the only goal of the game.
The Irishman could now find himself promoted into Andy Thorn's starting XI as the Sky Blues aim to record back-to-back wins for only the second time in 2011.
Nathan Cameron replaced Hussey at the break against the Robins but his place in Thorn's matchday 16 is now threatened as City await the results of a scan to a knee injury, with Martin Cranie (ribs) in a fitness race to be ready if called upon.
Skipper Sammy Clingan (fractured toe) and strikers Clive Platt (back) and Cody McDonald (knee) are set to miss out again.
Liam Bridcutt will miss his first game of the season when Brighton head north.
Albion's ever-present midfielder was booked for the fifth time this season against Reading on Boxing Day and serves a one-match ban.
Alan Navarro provides a like-for-like replacement in the starting line-up while boss Gus Poyet is considering adding youth team starlet Jake Forster-Caskey to the bench.
Defender Romain Vincelot and striker Ashley Barnes are still suspended following their red cards against Burnley before Christmas.
The Seagulls also have a lengthy injury list with Vicente Rodriguez (thigh), Inigo Calderon (knee), Marcos Painter (hamstring) and Will Hoskins (hip) all expected to miss out along with long-term absentees Gary Dicker (broken leg) and Tommy Elphick (Achilles)
