Coventry City may have booked their trip to Wolverhampton on the back of a 5-0 humbling of Up-for-the-Cup heroes Maidstone United, but previously saw off Sheffield Wednesday in a sticky two-legged tie in the fourth round, after their straightforward defeat of Oxford United opened their campaign.
Wolves have had a tougher time of it, manfully despatching Premier League rivals Brighton 1-0 in the fifth round, after a feisty – and I mean feisty – derby tangle with West Bromwich Albion before that. Wolves also had to grapple with top-flight opposition in the third round, but although it took two stabs, they evenutally toppled Brentford, 4-3 on aggregate.
