Southampton face a trip to Coventry City at Coventry Arena on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 6 of the 54 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2007, the Sky Blues carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
