PREVIEW: Coventry City vs Swindon Town

After the return of Jon Obika, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Brad Barry in the last few matches, Swindon nearly have the entire squad to choose from for Saturday's game against Coventry.

To add to that, young attacking midfielder Ellis Iandolo is now back in full training and Luke Williams believes the club are on the "home stretch" with him.

Iandolo is one of 12 members of the Swindon first-team squad that are out of contract in the summer but him and Brad Barry have trigger options in their deal that means if the club wish to extend thier stay at the County Ground, the pair have no choice but to accept the offer.

Apart from that Swindon have a full strength squad on the injury front, with the exception of long-term absentee Jamie Sendles-White, who still seems to be ruled out for the rest of the season, however no official date has been given.

Raphael Rossi-Branco will not be able to play at the Ricoh Arena though as he is serving the second of his two-match ban picked up for ten season yellow cards.

Swindon can boast an impressive record against the Sky Blues. Prior to the 1-0 win for the Robins on the opening day of this season they drew 0-0 at the Ricoh last season while also drawing the home meeting - 2-2 - after getting four points against the Midlands-based club in the 2014-15 play-off season.

In total, Swindon are unbeaten against Coventry in nine and have not lost against Saturday's opponents since a 2001 FA Cup tie. The last league defeat came way back in 1964 at the old Highfield Road.

Coventry could welcome back striker Stuart Beavon, who has been plagued with a calf strain recently, and captain Jordan Willis (hamstring) may also be passed fit.

Goalkeeper Lee Burge was replaced at half-time in Coventry's last match due to concussion, but he too is expected to be healthy as is on-loan striker Charles Vernam following a shoulder problem.
