Coventry City prepare to entertain Sunderland at Highfield Road Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 10 and lost only 3 of the 18 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highfield Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
