Last updated : 04 December 2006 By Morris (Bristol)
City found out a short while after beating Gillingham that they would be facing Coventry City in round 3 of the FA Cup.

"We will be underdogs against Coventry, but we will fancy our chances. It's definitely a tie we can look to win," said Gary Johnson.

"They will bring a large contingent of supporters and, while we would have liked one the Premiership giants, we are very happy to have been drawn at home."
