The Sky Blues have won their first two games of the season, but both were at the plush Ricoh Arena.

Their pairing with Newcastle in the Carling Cup has left them dreaming of happy home days, with a second-round clash with Kevin Keegan's outfit coming up.

But Barnsley will be bidding to make home advantage count and score their first home win of the season to jolt the Sky Blues' upbeat mood.

One of the tasks for Coventry manager Chris Coleman will certainly be to make sure that his players are fully focussed on the determined challenge that will be presented by the Reds.

Coleman admitted that he believed his team did not do themselves justice in a 2-0 win against Norwich last Saturday.

He says of his team's opening Championship game: "I think it was a bit of a nervous performance because of our desperation to win.

"But I'm pleased because, though we didn't create many chances, when we did we looked threatening. Our players have a never-say die attitude. It was a good sign that we didn't play well and still won the game."

Coleman has signed Guillaume Beuzelin from Hibernian, Aron Gunnarsson from Alkmaar, Keiren Westwood from Carlisle and Freddy Eastwood from Wolves.

Michael Mifsud, who submitted a transfer request last month and saw a £1.5million move to Bristol City fall through, was recalled for the 3-1 Cup win against Aldershot.

"We want Michael Mifsud to stay here and play with us. If Michael keeps giving us that performance and that level of commitment only a fool would leave him out of the squad and I am not a fool." said Coleman.

Mifsud looks set to be in the squad against Barnsley, with Eastwood another potential danger man.
