FOOTBALL - Coventry City play-off dates and kick-off times confirmed as Sunderland await

COVENTRY City extended their season after a final day victory against Middlesbrough secured the Sky Blues a place in the Championship play-offs.

A brace from Jack Rudoni saw Frank Lampard’s side rise to fifth in the table and ended Boro’s hopes of achieving a top-six finish.

And Bristol City’s final day draw with Preston North End means Coventry will play Sunderland in the play-offs.

The Sky Blues will host the Black Cats in the first leg at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday, May 9 with kick-off at 8pm.

The second leg takes place at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday, May 13 with kick-off at 8pm.

Should Coventry progress, the Championship play-off final takes place on Saturday, May 24 at Wembley.




However, the EFL are yet to confirm a kick-off time for the fixture.

The other play-off semi-final pits Sheffield United against Bristol City.
