Coventry City will be looking to extend their 100% FA Cup record against visitors Stoke City tomorrow....
....winning the only game between the two sides, 1-0 (away), in 1987. Coventry City went on to win further games in the competition that season.
The overall record reads: Played 56 times; Coventry City have won 23, drawn 8, with Stoke City winning 25 times.
The two sides haven't met since the 2007/8 season, with both sides winning the away fixture, 2-1 to Stoke, and 3-1 to Coventry City (Which included a Mifsud double).
The most notable game of recent times was the 2004/5 fixture that saw Ian Bennett sent off for Coventry City on 41 minutes, with Stephen Hughes taking over in goal, and keeping a clean sheet!
Best odds for a Coventry City win tomorrow is around 4/1 - fairly miserly considering this is Division 4 versus Division 1.
New-dad Peter Crouch is around 9/2 first scorer (Fairly nailed on if he starts, in my opinion), while the out-for-the-season Andreu is 15/2, the returned to Wolves Duckens Nazon is 9/1 (best odds), and the also definitely out Vicenti at 12/1.
