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.

A continuation of the second half on Saturday so far.
Bennett is going to be a very good acquisition by the look of it. |  |

More the case that the idiom seemed to fit than anything else, but there is still the January window. | | | |

Struggling to see Lowe or Gyokeres scoring many if any goals. Not exactly been prolific anywhere in the past.
It would be good to see Cullen given a start |  | | |
