Southampton face a trip to Coventry City at Coventry Arena on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 6 of the 53 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
