Coventry City take on Derby County at the Arena in a Championship fixture.

New signing Dennis Wise is available although Stephen Hughes is out for up to five weeks.

No-one will need reminding of the last time, Derby County visited our city. The Sky Blues finished off their 106 year tenure of Highfield Road with a 6-2 victory. Earlier in the season, the sides drew 1-1 at Pride Park. This is the 68th meeting between the two clubs with City having won on twenty five occasions with sixteen draws. Graham Salisbury from Lancashire is the referee
