The Conference side put out Championship outfit Blackpool, who included former Sky Blue Claus Jorgensen and Cov kids Ian Evatt and Danny Nardiello in their team, yesterday to earn their place in this afternoon's draw.
"Coventry are a Championship side and this is a tie we think we can win," said Torquay United captain Chris Hargreaves. "I've got quite a good feeling about the next draw as well!
"I'm sure the Coventry players are at home thinking they won't fancy the trip to Plainmoor.
"Coventry have won the competition and are a club steeped in history. It's a good omen for us that we're at home and it's a good draw for us."
