Sky Blues On The Road - Hull City

Last updated : 31 January 2006 By Covsupport

After FA Cup action on Saturday, it’s back to league action with a trip to Hull City.

For the Sky Blues first ever visit of the KC Stadium, Micky Adams is expected to keep the majority of the team that drew with Middlesbrough. Don Hutchison limped off during the game and could be replaced by Dennis Wise who has served a one game suspension.

Hull boss Peter Taylor is without Nicky Barmby who has a hamstring injury. New signings Jon Parkin and Darryl Duffy look set to start up front with Billy Paynter and Stuart Green both available.

This is the 35th meeting between the two clubs with Coventry having won twelve and drawn seven. Hull have a better goal difference of plus four thanks to a 2-0 victory at the Arena early in the season. This is City’s first trip to Hull for a league game since December 1966 when both sides earned a 2-2 draw. A League Cup tie in October 1995, saw Nil Lampety score the only goal of the game after City had won the home leg 2-0.

Hull City’s stewards and police have a reputation for being over the top, so be wary of them.
