Coventry are winless in their last nine league meetings with Swansea (D5 L4), with this the first such game between the sides since February 2011 (Coventry 0-1 Swansea).
Swansea have won their last two away league games against Coventry (1-0 in both August 2009 and February 2011), more than they had in their previous 11 such visits (W1 D2 L8).
Coventry City are looking to avoid losing consecutive home league games for the first time since March 2017, when they lost three in a row.
Swansea City haven’t won four consecutive away league matches since November 2010, when they did so under Brendan Rodgers.
The last second-tier team to win their first three away league matches of a season without conceding was Charlton Athletic in the 1992/93 campaign, while the last Championship side to keep a clean sheet in their first three away matches of a season was Bristol City in 2008/09.
Joe Rodon moving to Spurs and his absence in the Swans defence is the test in this game.How do the Swans combat his loss and maintain their impressive away form ? Ryan Bennett is sure to come in and his experience is definitely needed after Saturdays loss to Huddersfield.
So what do we know about Coventry ?
They have a museum.
Yes a music museum. The museum is the life-long vision of Coventry Music Historian and Journalist Pete Chambers and his wife Julie. Pete and Julie quite happily give up four days of their week, to work for free, to promote Coventry and Warwickshire music. It’s already bringing visitors to the area from the West Midlands, all over Britain and the world (58 countries as at Easter 2016), and of course Coventry and Warwickshire!
The museum is NOT a 2-Tone museum, although 2-Tone is the unique selling point, 55% of the museum is dedicated to non-ska related displays, that look at the music from Coventry, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Nuneaton, Bedworth even touching on Birmingham in places. Speaking of Birmingham that’s where Coventry play football.
Why do Coventry play football in Birmingham ?
Well, that’s easy, but there is a sting in the tail. Wasps RFC, who aren’t actually wasps they are big eared boys who throw a weird shaped ball about won’t let them. Apparently they own the stadium, or something like that, maybe they don’t, but in a fight between the sky blue and wasps I think the wasps would win as they have far bigger hands and noses that can take a punch. I actually know a Coventry supporter who used to walk to the ground, it took him seven English minutes. Now he gets the train but replicates his walk to the ground by strolling up and down his train carriage all through his journey. He is a bit of a knob.
Last season to celebrate forty years of two tone the club and other people brought out this third strip for sixty five pounds, that’s a lot of money. Julian Alsop sponsored them, maybe.
Ten things you probably know about Coventry
1.Legend has it that the city was the birthplace of St. George, dragon slayer and patron saint of England. Ok, we will see about that fantasists
2.Britain's car industry was founded by Daimler in a disused Coventry cotton mill in 1896.
3.William Shakespeare was said to have jilted a Coventry woman on the eve of their wedding to marry Anne Hathaway.
4.Coventry has 26 twin towns and cities, including Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad), Dresden and Jinan in China.
5.The first £5 note in a worker's peacetime wage was paid in Coventry during the 1950's.
6.George Eliot lived and went to school in Coventry. Life in the city around 1830 was the model for Middlemarch, her most famous novel.
7.All modern bicycles are descended from John Kemp Starley's Rover safety cycle, invented in Coventry in 1885.
8.The great Victorian actress Ellen Terry was born in Coventry and her counterpart a century earlier, Sarah Siddons, was married in the city.
9.Tencel, the revolutionary fibre now taking the fashion world by storm, was developed at Courtaulds laboratories in Coventry.
10.In November 1940, Coventry Cathedral was destroyed by a handful of incendiary bombs lodged in its timber roof. There was no water to put the fires out.

How did the ball stay out? Our goal had a charmed life in that minute or so. | | | |

How slow can a defence be at pressing the attacker in our own box ! Pathetic. |  |

At least Bennett appears to be very vocal to his fellow defenders and the goalkeeper. | |

We needed to think we were in a tournament.
Trouble is, Coventry are playing tournament/survival football with more intensity. | | | |

Yep.Only positive.He needs to be captain.Now
Grimes is appalling .Simple as.
Steve gets in a striker and takes him off.
Bugger off Steve please | |

Yes poor last 10 mins from us but a decent away point
Bennett looks a good addition but we are still lacking up front aren’t we and lacking penetration | |

Didn't deserve any more than the point - if that. How times have changed! The last time I saw Coventry in the flesh was when they narrowly beat our under-23s with a late goal at the Liberty in a cup game. Now they give our first eleven pretty much just as tough a game. | | | |

yep,we are and very fragile when under pressure.I believe this is down to Woodman.
Think Bennett though will be a good acquisition.. He talks. Grimes does not.
Make him captain | |

No energy, no pace, no determination and certainly very, very little skill.
Difficult to pick out our worse player, but Lowe & Smith have got be up there, f*cking disgracful performance. |  |
| |

Surely Swansea Ladies can find us a more competitive player than Korey Smith.
Andre Ayew - "the best player in this league" - what complete and utter tosh! | | | |

Thought Fulton improved us a lot after coming on. Not much else as a positive. | | | |

Decent point on road but there’s something missing there. Bennett played well but we can’t ride our luck like that every week.
Not enough energy in the middle, teams have finally worked out that Bidwell and Roberts are our only attacking outlets and just snuffed us out.
Lowe looks like he hates playing up top
Gyokeres looks average at best
Zero pace and toothless in final third. Hard watch. |  | | |

Ayew scored a good goal but apart from that he is ineffective.He stands out because the others are so dire.
Apart from Bennett,I would suggest our fantastic window preety shyte and again we have given a huge club a bargain.
My God,do we need to be sold as these cretins in US are killing us. | |

Slow, ploddy, defence was all at sea.
Bristol City Saturday 😂 | |

These last two games have shown up our dire lack of creativity. Who can play 10 and do something unusual to unlock defences? | |

Overall a disappointing night but with new players involved tonight it’ll take time. And in 4th position with good teams like Derby, Forest and Preston in the bottom six it again shows how hard it is to be consistent. | |
