Coventry City play host to Barnsley at Coventry Arena on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 14 of the 21 contests.
The last time the two teams met at Coventry City was back in February 2002, over five years ago, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League Division One match.
