Coventry City<\/a> host Stoke City<\/a> at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday 28 February, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home side are top of the Championship<\/a> and brimming with attacking confidence, while Stoke arrive searching for consistency. This match-up has been dominated by Coventry in recent years, but with both teams boasting solid possession stats and Stoke\u2019s defence quietly improving, there are intriguing tactical questions for punters to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
