A classic Midlands clash awaits as Coventry City look to tighten their grip on the top of the Championship table against Stoke City at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Under the management of Frank Lampard, the Sky Blues have become the team to beat, currently sitting five points clear at the summit. For Stoke, managed by former Coventry icon Mark Robins, it's a journey to familiar territory with a point to prove.

The Sky Blues are in imperious form, chasing their fourth consecutive league win. They recently showed the "face of champions" by coming from behind to beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Bramall Lane. With 70 goals scored this season, they are the most prolific side in the division. 

The Potters have been a "tough nut to crack" but have struggled for wins lately. However, they snapped a seven-game winless streak on Wednesday with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Oxford United. Despite their mid-table position, their away defence is statistically the best in the league.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
