Frank Lampard has stuck with a winning team as Coventry City<\/a> go in search of their first away win in eight long league games in today\u2019s lunchtime clash at West Bromwich Albion (12.30pm).<\/a><\/p>\n In fact, the only change to the matchday squad from Monday night\u2019s magnificent victory over Middlesbrough is on the bench, where former Albion striker Brandon Thomas-Asante returns from a three match suspension to replace winger Jahnoah Markelo amongst the subs.<\/p>\n That means an unchanged back four, including the continued central defensive partnership of Bobby Thomas and Joel Latibeaudiere for a second game running, with Milan van Ewijk and Jay Dasilva either side at full-back and Carl Rushworth in goal.<\/p>\n FOLLOW ON FACEBOOK!
