Preston 3-1 Coventry BBC Sport.Preston maintained their play-off challenge with a deserved victory over a poor Coventry at Deepdale.
North End saw their unbeaten run extend to 15 games thanks to first-half goals from Adam Nowland, Graham Alexander and Chris Sedgwick.
Stern John's 59th-minute strike was mere consolation for the visitors as they succumbed to their seventh away defeat of the season.
Sedgwick's goal, volleyed into the top left corner, was the pick of the bunch.

Preston manager Billy Davies said:"It was a tremendous performance from the team and an excellent three points.
"David Nugent is first class. He is getting better after his illness and he thoroughly deserved a goal. Roll on January 31!"
Coventry manager Micky Adams said:"We never really got going first half at all. To be honest, we didn't deserve to get anything.
"Stern John came on and was terrific. He's a goalscorer. He thrives on goals. I'm not going to criticise individuals. "I thought we were poor as a team in the first half, and the scoreline (3-0 to Preston) flattered us at half-time."
