Coventry City v Norwich City - Sky Bet Championship
Coventry haven't beaten Norwich in 13 years

Norwich City host Coventry City at the Carrow Road Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, aiming to win their fifth game in a row.

With 13 points from seven games so far, the Canaries are second in the league table behind only Sheffield United and look to be in great form.

They have won their last four league games, although, during that run, Norwich were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Bournemouth 5-3 on penalties.

Coventry, meanwhile, are stuck in a rut at the moment, languishing at the bottom of the standings with just a point from four games.

They are the only side who are yet to win in the division.

Having started their campaign with a 1-1 draw at Sunderland, the Sky Blues lost their next three - a pair of 3-2 defeats to Millwall and Hull before a narrow 1-0 loss to Preston on Wednesday.


Norwich City vs Coventry City Head-To-Head

Coventry have beaten Norwich 54 times in 124 clashes, while the Canaries have beaten them on 35 occasions.

However, the Sky Blues haven't won this fixture since February 2009, a run stretching to six games.
