History of the Nottingham Forest v Coventry City fixture

Nottm. Forest prepare to entertain Coventry City at City Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Forest are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 6 of the 41 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City Ground was less than a year ago, in February 2004, with Coventry City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Forest in a League Division One match.
