History of the Coventry City v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Coventry City prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Coventry Arena on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 8 of the 36 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Coventry Arena was just last season, in September 2004, the Sky Blues carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Cup match.
