How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home, promoted this season
Coventry City
New to the division this season. Expect Coventry to keep men behind the ball in front of their own fans at Coventry Building Society Arena and look for set pieces and fast breaks.
Away
Chelsea
One of the league's best sides. Chelsea should have most of the ball on the road at Coventry Building Society Arena, so the question is whether Coventry can stay compact for 90 minutes.
