After another upset in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, Maidstone United have their eyes set on another Championship giant-killing next week.

The Stones will make the 140-mile trip to Coventry City on Monday, February 26, with the hopes of making history.

Manager George Elokobi and his men have already captured the hearts of the town after the side’s historic 2-1 win over Ipswich last month and will be wanting to put smiles on their fans’ faces once more.

Thousands of fans will travel up to Coventry to watch the game, while thousands more will be watching along at home, or down the pub, with the match being broadcast on ITV4. Here’s where you can watch…
