Last updated : 01 September 2004 By Covsupport
City Reserves take on Norwich City at 7pm tonight at Highfield Road in a FA Premier Reserve League clash.

Norwich only joined the top fight reserve league this season after years of playing in the more Southern based Combination league and have not played City since the late 1960's.

For the few who attend reserve games,it will be an apportunity to welcome back former Sky Blue Youseff Safri. The Morrocan was sold to Norwich in the summer but was not fit enough to play in the pre-season friendly at Highfield Road.

Coventry have a strong side out with keeper Andy Marriott hoping that a good performance will earn him a contract. Graham Barrett,Gary McSheffrey and Bjarni Gudjonsson all play whilst Canaries coach Keith Webb gives an outing to Mattias Svensson.
