• Coventry have won only two of the last eight home league meetings with the Hammers. During that time, they lost 3-0 in September 2000 when this was a Premier League fixture.
Coventry City
• Derby and Nottingham Forest are the only clubs Coventry have beaten in the Championship this season (both at home), and just goal difference is keeping them off the foot of the table.
• Andy Thorn, who will have been at the helm 250 days when this game is staged, has overseen the Sky Blues' worst start to a league season in 11 years.
• They are on the longest current winless sequence in the division of five games (two points out of 15), and have the joint weakest attack in the Football League, with 13 goals netted in 16 outings.
West Ham United
• West Ham are unbeaten in four, and have claimed 10 points of the last 12 available.
• They head the Championship's "away" table, with five wins and 17 points, losing only to Southampton. (Coventry are bottom, with three points.)
Were ok then.
