COVENTRY City take the journey up North tomorrow to take on Simon Grayson's Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

The Sky Blues are currently on a three-game undefeated run which has seen them pick up five points with draws against Preston and Sheffield United and a win at promotion-fancied Queen's Park Rangers.

And outside of long-term injured Stephen Wright, who is out with an Achilles problem, Coleman has a relatively fit squad to choose from ahead of the clash with the Seasiders.

Grayson's side have encountered a relatively similar start to their 2008/09 Championship campaign with three defeats, three wins and a draw from their opening seven league games.

The Seasiders, who will be buoyed by their 1-0 win away to high-flying Birmingham City last Saturday, currently sit in 10^th place in the league table, just two places behind the Sky Blues.

Coventry and Blackpool have met each other relatively scarcely over the years, having played each other just 21 times in all competitions over the course of both of the club's histories.

As such, the Sky Blues have not won at Bloomfield Road since a 1-0 victory in 1922.

Blackpool kept that statistic intact in the same fixture last season when they beat City 4-0 at Bloomfield Road, Wes Hoolahan, Michael Flynn, Kaspars Gorkss and Scott Vernon all getting on the scoresheet.

All four goalscorers have since departed Blackpool's fair shores although Grayson took the opportunity to bring in six new faces at a disclosed cost of £200,000 during the summer, all of which went on the acquisition of Welsh midfielder David Vaughan from Spanish outfit Sociedad.

The additional arrival of Mansfield's Alex Baptiste, Spurs' Joe Martin, Jermaine Wright from Southampton, striker and former Queens Park Ranger Daniel Nardiello and former Wolves defender Rob Edwards shores up Grayson's line-up.

Two players who have already made their mark this season at Bloomfield Road though are hitmen Ben Burgess, last season's club top scorer, and Steve Kabba, currently on loan from Watford, who have both netted twice in the league so far.
