Coventry City pack their bags to visit Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 14 occassions, and draw 10, from the 26 games played.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was within the last three years, in August 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
