History of the Coventry City v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Coventry City at Coventry Arena on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Owls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 8 of the 37 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2006, the Sky Blues carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
