Choice of statistics: Burnley v Coventry City

On By Pranco

Coventry City may be without a manager, but the Sky Blues did well in their match 2-2 comeback against promotion candidates Sheffield United this weekend – and will be hoping to put in another strong performance on Tuesday when they visit fourth-placed Burnley.

However, the Clarets have lost just one of their last thirteen league games (W6 D6), leaving them just two points behind leaders Leeds United and boast a particularly strong record against the visitors.

  • Burnley have lost just one of their last ten league games against Coventry City (W6 D3), a 1-0 defeat in November 2010.

  • Coventry have gone winless in their last five league visits to Burnley (D3 L2) since a 2-1 win on the final day of the 2006-07 season.

  • Burnley are looking to keep five clean sheets in a row in the league for the first time since August 2009 (6), having last done so in the same season in January 2005 in the Championship.

  • After gaining just three points in eight away games between April and October (D3 L5), Coventry have collected five points from their last three such games (W1 D2).

  • Burnley manager Scott Parker’s only previous season against Coventry was in 2021-22 in the Championship under Bournemouth, drawing 2-2 at home and winning 3-0 away.
