Coventry City entertain(?) Crystal Palace at the Ricoh this afternoon, with their record since moving to their new ground showing more defeats than victories.

Both sides look set to field their strongest available sides (Insert own joke here), with Aidy Boothroyd revealing earlier in the week that he expects Crystal Palace to come here looking to win.... 

Coventry City have played eight FA Cup ties at the Ricoh Arena, since moving to said venue, and have lost more than they've won - having a better away record than home over said period of time. The home record reads: Played 8; Won 3; Drew 1; Lost 4. The away record reads: Played 7; Won 3; Drew 3; Lost 1. 

2009/10 

FA3 Portsmouth 1-1 Coventry (Bell) 

FA3 Coventry 1-2 Portsmouth (Best) 

2008/9 

FA3 Coventry 2-0 Kidderminster (McKenzie, Best) 

FA4 Torquay 0-1 Coventry (Ward) 

FA5 Blackburn 2-2 Coventry (Gunnarsson, Doyle) 

FA5 Coventry 1-0 Blackburn (Best) 

FA6 Coventry 0-2 Chelsea 

2007/8 

FA3 Blackburn 1-4 Coventry (Mifsud, Ward, Adebola, Mifsud) 

FA4 Coventry 2-1 Millwall (Hughes, Mifsud) 

FA5 Coventry 0-5 West Brom - Doyle sent off. 

2006/7

FA3 Coventry 0-3 Bristol City 

2005/6

The two sides have only played each other once in the FA Cup (In 1908), and the wrong side won.
