Meet The Stones:

Founded in 1992, Maidstone United will take on City for the first time in their history on Monday as both side look to make history by booking their place in the last eight of the Emirates FA Cup.

George Elokobi's side will arrive at the Coventry Building Society Arena in sixth place in the National League South, six points outside the automatic promotion places but just inside the play-offs.

Last time out in the FA Cup, Maidstone performed an eye-catching giant killing as they beat Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

To beat the Sky Blues, they must bounce back from a defeat away at Aveley (2-0) and secure their first win away from home since that triumph over Ipswich.
