Former Sky Blues assistant manager, Neil MacFarlane, is first team coach at MK Dons.

He and then manager Steven Pressley were in charge the day they beat them in front of a near 7,000 travelling Sky Blue Army in November 2013 - the season City were in exile in Northampton and took huge crowds away from home

Meanwhile, the only man to have led Coventry City to FA Cup success reckons there are similarities between his trophy-lifting side and the squad that current boss Mark Robins has at his disposal.

John Sillett, the legendary manager who inspired City to glory in the 1987 final against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, says Robins has instilled the kind of team spirit that can make a world of difference.

And Sillett, issued a passionate rallying cry ahead of the clash which will take place on the weekend of 27-28 January, evoking memories of that triumph over Spurs over 30 years ago.

"It's a wonderful, wonderful city to be when you've come back with that trophy. I can't believe the reception we had,” said Sillett, now aged 81.

"I can't believe how good a game we put on at Wembley, the boys played magnificently, great team spirit.

"I can see at the moment in this young side the same sort of spirit.

"It was here for the last match when they beat Stoke, we're going to take some beating, I don't care who we've drawn in the cup, we're going to take a lot of beating.

"It's vital to any team. If you've got that team spirit which Mark has built here with his youngsters, and Oggy (Steve Ogrizovic) has helped as well, we're all watching and all wondering, can we bring it back?

"Yes of course we can!"
