Coventry City prepare to entertain Stoke City at Highfield Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, winning 58.33% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highfield Road Stadium was just last season, in September 2003, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Coventry City's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Sky Blues have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Stoke City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.
Coventry City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 34 matches. Stoke City's 47 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
