Coventry City prepare to entertain Gillingham at Highfield Road Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 5 of the 22 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highfield Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.
