Coventry boss Chris Coleman will remind his players there is life after the FA Cup before sending them out to face City at Ashton Gate tonight.

The Midlands club has been gripped by Cup fever since the turn of the year and Coleman's charges produced a real shock when knocking Blackburn Rovers out in a fifth-round replay at the Ricoh Arena last month.

But their run came to an abrupt end on Saturday, Chelsea inflicting a 2-0 quarter-final defeat upon the Sky Blues thanks to goals from Didier Drogba and Alex.

Former Fulham and Real Sociedad boss Coleman is now charged with the task of lifting his players for the Championship run-in.

He warned: "Playing Chelsea was the biggest game for the club at the new stadium, but we need to move on.

"It is going to be difficult against Bristol City and we've got to get back on it. We will have to get back to reality."

Coventry will be without winger Leon McKenzie and full-back Danny Fox fort tonight's clash. McKenzie is out for the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon, while Fox faces another fortnight on the sidelines while he recovers from damaged knee ligaments.

But midfielder David Bell is available after being cup-tied at the weekend.

Prior to losing 2-1 at home to Sheffield United last week, the Sky Blues had enjoyed an impressive run of form, remaining undefeated throughout February and beating automatic promotion contenders Wolves and Birmingham.
