McGoldrick and Bailey back for Coventry against Sheffield United

04 December 2012 13:46

Coventry City will have David McGoldrick and Jamie Bailey back for tonight's Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Area Quarter-Final against Sheffield United at the Ricoh Arena (7.45pm kick off).

The duo were prevented from playing in the Sky Blues FA Cup Second Round victory over Morecambe on Saturday by their parent clubs Nottingham Forest and Derby County respectively but are eligible for this competition which is only for League One and League Two clubs.

City manager Mark Robins will have to field six of the players, who played against Portsmouth in the club's last league fixture, and is expected to field his strongest possible team against Danny Wilson's side.

That could include goalkeeper Joe Murphy, who returned to training yesterday after missing Saturday's FA Cup tie with a shoulder injury and may see a place on the bench for Conor Thomas who came through sixteen minutes of City U21's 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest yesterday.

Tickets for the game are priced at £5 for adults and concessions with U16's able to get in free if they are accompanied by an adult on a one adult one child ratio.
