Match Facts

Wolves are unbeaten in their last five home games against Coventry in all competitions (W3 D2), with this the first such meeting since a 1-1 draw in League One in October 2013.
This is the first FA Cup meeting between Wolves and Coventry since the 1983-84 third round, with the Sky Blues progressing following a 3-0 win in a second replay.
Wolves have progressed from two of their last three FA Cup quarter-final ties, most recently a 2-1 win over Manchester United in 2018-19.
Coventry have progressed from just one of their previous seven FA Cup quarter-final ties, doing so in 1986-87 en route to winning the trophy. This is their first appearance at this stage of the competition since a 2-0 loss to Chelsea in 2008-09.
Wolves have won their last five FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division. They were last eliminated by a lower ranked side in 2012-13, going out to non-league Luton Town.
Coventry are the top scorers in the FA Cup this season (first round onwards) with 16 goals. It’s the joint-most they’ve ever scored in a single campaign, level with 1962-63.
Ellis Simms scored a hat-trick in the fifth round – his first ever FA Cup goals, and the first Coventry player to score an FA Cup treble since Darren Huckerby against Macclesfield Town in January 1999.
Kasey Palmer has been involved in seven goals in his five FA Cup appearances for Coventry City, scoring three and assisting four. No player remaining in the competition has been involved in more goals this term than Palmer (5 – 2 goals, 3 assists).
