The Foxes camp are rubbing their hands in anticipation of Saturday's trip to Coventry, in the hope that it could be a second successive away win after breaking the travelling duck at Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
City assistant boss, Craig Shakespeare, today talked about the trip to the Ricoh Arena as a clash his players will be all geared up for.

He said of the derby encounter: "It is one that is a good game for everybody and the supporters are looking forward to it. We will be taking our usual good following which, from the players' point of view, is appreciated. We will have plenty of backing.

"They are a team who have had a similar start to ourselves, had a good result themselves on Tuesday night (winning 3-2 at Watford) and came back from two goals down on Saturday (at home to Middlesbrough for a 2-2 draw), so it will be a very tight game, as they all are in the Championship nowadays.

"We will have to be defensively sound but attacking-wise it should be an open game."

The Sky Blues have been in good scoring form but Shakespeare said: "If you analyse the games, you will see that they leak goals as well as scoring them and we have come away with a one-nil victory from Tuesday night. But football has a habit of being unpredictable so it is one of those games we go into full of confidence, so will they, and as I have said before, it will be an open game and one both sides want to get three points from.

"The players were jubilant on the way back from Middlesbrough and hopefully it will be a starting point to get our second away win this weekend at Coventry."

On the injury front, things are looking up apart from defender Aleksandar Tunchev who has had a knee operation.

Shakespeare said: "He had a successful knee operation, timescale wise it is too early to say but it was not as serious as before. He will be assessed but he will be out for the next few games.Richie Wellens is completely over his hamstring but had been ill. He trained today and seemed glad to be back on the training ground, trained well and hopefully he will be able to train tomorrow and have a chance of playing on Saturday, if picked."

Matty Fryatt, who took an ankle knock at the Riverside on Tuesday night, has also trained and should be available.
