Malky Mackay has said that Coventry City will be "desperate" for a win when they face Cardiff City in the Championship tonight.

Cardiff are in eighth position and gunning for a play-off spot, while Coventry are 22nd and in danger of dropping to League One.

"It's another team who are absolutely desperate for points," Mackay said. "It's not that different because most teams in the division are desperate for points. They are a team fighting for their lives.

"But we see things all the time like last weekend Doncaster going to Upton Park and getting a point and Coventry themselves nearly nicked a win at Watford.

"No games are easy in this division. There's always something to fight for."

Cardiff are currently one point off a place in the top six.
