Four months after being sacked by the Sky Blues, Mark Robins returns to Coventry on Saturday (12:30 GMT) as Stoke visit the CBS Arena in a game with plenty at stake for both clubs.
With 11 Championship games remaining, the Sky Blues sit fifth on the back of eight wins in nine league games and are seeking to take a grip on a play-off spot.
The Potters are 20th, five points above the relegation zone, having picked up just four points from their past five league games.
Coventry City have lost just two of their past nine league games against Stoke City (W4 D3), though have failed to score in three of their last four games against the Potters.
