Coventry City host Preston North End at the Ricoh Arena in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking for their third consecutive league win.
The Sky Blues bounced back from a 2-0 loss at the hands of Cardiff City with back-to-back victories over Barnsley and Bristol.
But now, their momentum will be tested against a side they haven't beaten since September 2007, a run that currently stands at 16 games.
The Lilwyhites are languishing in the bottom-half of the league standings at 13th with 46 points from 34 games and just one win in their last four outings.
