Mark Robins returns to his former club Coventry City as manager of Stoke City for the second time, having lost 3-2 there last season.
When these two sides met at the bet365 Stadium in November, Stoke were second in the Championship table, just four points behind leaders Coventry.
The Sky Blues remain top of the table but are now 21 points ahead of their 13th-placed opponents.
- Following their 1-0 win in November, Coventry are hoping to complete the league double over Stoke for the first time since 1984-85.
- Stoke lost this exact fixture 3-2 last season, but have not lost consecutive away league games against Coventry since December 1982.
- Coventry have lost just three of their past 32 home league games (W23 D6), with those defeats coming against teams either in the Premier League this season (Leeds and Burnley) or last season (Ipswich).
- Stoke scored five goals in their first two away league games this season (2.5 per game), beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 and Southampton 2-1. Since then, they have scored just 10 times in 15 on the road (0.7 per game), netting more than once on just two further occasions.
- Haji Wright has scored five goals in his past four home league games for Coventry, one more than he had in his previous 14 appearances at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
