Stoke City face a trip to Coventry City at Coventry Arena on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Potters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
