A 1-2 defeat away at Preston North End before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Coventry are hosting Swansea City in the Championship only three days away.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Coventry City's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
