Bristol City face a trip to Coventry City at Coventry Arena on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 3 of the 26 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a F.A. Cup match.
