Form guide
Tottenham went into the weekend 19th with three points from six games and are still looking for their first league win. They have scored only 3 goals. At home they have one draw and two defeats. They did come away from Old Trafford with a 1-1 draw last time out, but they finished with ten men after Bentancur's red card.
Coventry went into the weekend 14th with six points and arrive in better form: a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest and a 4-1 home win over Newcastle. Before that they lost three in a row, including 5-0 to Brighton. Away from home they have won one and lost two, scoring only once.
Head-to-head
This is the first league meeting since 2001. Spurs have won the last five meetings in all competitions, the most recent a 2-1 League Cup win at Coventry in 2024.
Team news
Spurs have a long injury list and are missing Bentancur through suspension. Coventry are without four players but welcome back striker Awoniyi.
Our prediction and why
We take Tottenham or draw (1X). Spurs' form is poor, but they are at home against a Coventry side that has scored once in three away league games. A straight Spurs win is too risky given they have not won all season, so we stay with double chance.
