Coventry City face a trip to Derby County at Pride Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 19 and win only 7 of the 32 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.
