Coventry City face a trip to Nottingham Forest at City Ground 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 lose 24 and win only 4 of the 37 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
