Coventry City (16th) and Crystal Palace (21st) have met 99 times in all competitions, with Coventry having won 36 times, compared to Crystal Palace's 31 victories, and 32 matches have ended in a draw. 

The last time the two sides met, in the Championship, Coventry City were undone by two of the dodgiest refereeing decisions seen this season (Two from a rather large pile). 

Coventry City have managed only two wins in their last ten fixtures against Palace, the most recent being the FA Cup 3rd Round victory five weeks ago (There were also three draws, and five matches ended in defeat). 

Coventry City have lost their last four matches (Three of which were away), all by a one-goal margin, while Crystal Palace have won one, and drawn three (Three of which were at home). 

Crystal Palace were the second team to record a league victory at the Ricoh Arena (In a fixture that saw Claus Jorgenson dismissed!). 

Marlon King is expected to return for this fixture, while Kieran Westwood should be available, despite a minor calf problem. Carsley, Turner, and Clingan are close to returning, but are not expecting to make this match. 

Clyne and Danns are expected to be missing for Palace. James Vaughan, whose 'fall' in the fixture at Selhurst Park resultes in Palace's second goal, is expected to lead the line for Palace. 

Coventry City are 6/5 to win, while Crystal Palace are 11/4 to win. The draw is 13/5. Coventry half-time, Palace full-time is 22/1, as is Palace half-time, Coventry full-time. Coventry to win 3-2 is 25/1 (1-0, 2-0, and 2-1 are all 7/1). 

King 5/1, Eastwood and Jutkiewicz are both 6/1, with 'no scorer' and Iversen (He of the shameful dives in the FA Cup fixture) is 8/1. Bizarrely, Roy O'Donovan is 8/1, along with Vaughan, McSheffrey, and Platt.
