    Coventry's following at Wembley of almost 43,000 is understood to have been bettered only by the 44,000 Southampton brought here in 2010, in terms of the largest number of tickets sold by any club side visiting England's football capital.

  4. Coventry v Oxford (14:30 BST)

    This season's Checkatrade Trophy has been... well, it's been interesting.

    A change in format - criticised by some and lauded by others - saw the introduction of a group stage and 16 academy sides.

    We could have been following Chelsea Under-23s v Leicester Under-23s if things had worked out differently.
