Coventry City prepare to entertain Sunderland at Coventry Arena on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Coventry Arena was two seasons ago, in August 2004, with Coventry City running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Championship match.
