Competition: Birmingham County FA Senior Cup
Fixture: Coventry Sphinx v Birmingham City
Date: Tuesday 9th October
Venue: Sphinx Drive, off Siddeley Avenue, Stoke, Coventry, CV3 1WA
Kick-off: 7.45pm
PREVIEW: Birmingham City are the visitors for one of the oldest cup competitions in the world. Last season Coventry Sphinx gave West Bromwich Albion a good game at the same stage of the competition last season so this is certain to be an intriguing match at Sphinx Drive.
COVENTRY SPHINX: Coventry Sphinx got back to form on Saturday with a thrilling 2-2 draw against current league leaders Ilkeston Town. They overcome a two goal deficit to claim a thoroughly deserved point with superb goals from Downie and Phillips. That point keeps them in 5th place in the Midland Football League Premier Division (step 5).
THE OPPOSITION: Birmingham City are expected to bring their Under 23’s squad for this cup tie and there could well be some future stars on display.
