DION Dublin has backed former club Coventry City to achieve promotion to the Premier League this season.
Sky Blues legend Dublin won the Premier League golden boot during his time at Coventry and scored 63 goals in 151 appearances for the Sky Blues.
And Dublin has backed Frank Lampard to take the club back into the Premier League for the first time since the 2000/01 season.
Speaking to OLBG, Dublin said: “I think what Frank has done, I am backing them to get up.
“I really am, but what Frank’s created is great.
“He’s created a really nice vibe down at the training ground.
“I went to have a chat with Frank about how he’s loving it and all that kind of stuff.
“I think he just made them a better team and he’s coached them better with his staff as well.
“I think the players have responded to his coaching and his smile and his enthusiasm for football.
“They’ve answered the manager with great performances and a little bit of a sniff of getting back to the Premier League, which I think is great for the club, and I really hope they do it.”
Coventry make the trip to Luton Town this weekend and can secure a play-off spot with a win and if other results go their way.
And Dublin expects the Sky Blues to beat the Hatters and boost their chances of securing a top-six finish.
Dublin added: “Luton are not having a good time at the moment, so I’m expecting Coventry to go down there and win the game.
“Knowing how close they are, the Coventry players and the manager, I think they’ll go down all guns blazing.
“I think Coventry will win the game 2-1, possibly 3-1.”
