Lamps set for delicate balancing act in Lions' den

RUN OF LEAGUE GAMES LEAVES CITY BOSS WITH CONUNDRUM FOR MILLWALL TRIP

- By ANDY TURNER

COVENTRY City head to Millwall tonight looking to strengthen their grip on the automatic places while maintaining their unbeaten start to the new Championship season.

The Sky Blues, however, will be wary of the Lions' strengths, having already lost to the southeast London side in the Carabao Cup last month, albeit after Frank Lampard had made numerous changes in personnel.

The fixture comes as the second of three league games in the space of eight days and the head coach will have half an eye on Saturday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday.

And with injuries to key players starting to bite, Lampard will be mindful of making full use of his squad to get through the next two games before the next international break provides a bit of respite in what is a delicate balancing act.
