Since their return to the Championship in 2020, Coventry have lost just two of their 10 league meetings with Stoke (W5 D3). Stoke have won their last three league games – they last won four in a row in August 2024 (the 4th game of which was against Coventry), while they last did so in the same season in December 2011. Coventry have scored at least twice in each of their last eight league games – only once have they ever done so in nine in a row, with that run coming back in March/April 1932. Coventry’s Brandon Thomas-Asante is the highest scorer in the Championship this season, with his 10 goals already just one short of his best return in a Football League campaign (11 in 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24).
