Since the start of the 2014-15 season, Preston North End have beaten Coventry City nine times in 11 attempts – their most joint-league wins against any side in that time.

Coventry City opted to play their re-arranged match against Leeds United before the FA Cup fourth round fixtures, losing 2-0. Despite the defeat, the Sky Blues are still in the mix for promotion. They beat Sheffield Wednesday last week as Ellis Simms made the most of a goalkeeping error to give the Sky Blues victory at Hillsborough.
