*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Callum O'Hare scored twice as Coventry ran out 4-1 winners against Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Maidstone scored with their only two shots on target away at Ipswich and it proved enough for the non-league side to defeat the Tractor Boys 2-1, the biggest result in the club's history.

Coventry and Maidstone lock horns for the very first time in their history on Monday night and it could be quite a while before the pair ever come face to face again, if at all.
