Overview
- Coventry drew 0-0 at the CBS Arena despite Oxford being reduced to 10 men after Will Lankshear's 77th‑minute dismissal.
- Frank Lampard said his side dominated but failed to convert chances and claimed an earlier second yellow for Ciaron Brown was missed.
- The leaders have won four of their last 13 league matches and could be overtaken if Middlesbrough beat Sheffield United on Monday.
- Lampard made five changes, restoring Luke Woolfenden and Joel Latibeaudiere at centre-back; Ephron Mason-Clark failed a fitness test, and new signing Frank Onyeka was an unused substitute.
- Goalkeeper Oliver Dovin suffered an ACL recovery setback and was de-registered from the 25-man squad under EFL rules, with scope to re-register if needed in exceptional circumstances.
