Michael Mifsud has nothing to prove - Chris Coleman
CHRIS COLEMAN is expecting his toughest challenge of the season to date when pacesetting Sky Blues face Bristol City at the Ricoh Arena tomorrow.
But the Coventry boss has played down suggestions that it will be a needle match if, as expected, Michael Mifsud lines up against the side he seemed certain to join two weeks ago.
The collapse of the ã1.5 million deal annoyed Coleman and infuriated opposite number Gary Johnson who blasted the Maltese striker's "unprofessional" behaviour.
But Coleman, poised to name a sameagain team against the Robins because of continuing concerns about Stephen Wright's Achilles tendon, insisted: "I hope it doesn't add an edge to the game if Michael starts - it shouldn't because for me that's all done and dusted.
"He will have to go into the game with a free mind and do a good job for the team like he did against Aldershot and Barnsley.
"He's got nothing to prove to anybody - he's just got to concentrate on helping us to get three points."
Teenager Aron Gunnarsson is set to retain his role as an emergency rightback, with Jay Tabb remaining in the centre of midfield and Mifsud continuing on the right wing.
