Tottenham’s 1–1 draw at Manchester United left them still looking for a first league victory in 2026/27. Dominic Solanke scored against United, but Spurs have struggled to convert possession into goals during their opening matches.

Coventry have a different run of form. Their 4–1 win over Newcastle followed another league victory and gives Lampard’s side a stronger platform heading to north London. Recent results matter for understanding the teams’ positions, but league form can change quickly. Read the wider Premier League fixtures, standings and news guide for season context.

Bentancur’s suspension leaves Tottenham with a midfield selection question. De Zerbi must decide how to balance ball progression and defensive cover against a Coventry side that has shown it can attack quickly.

Coventry’s win over Newcastle included goals from Jack Rudoni, Sidiki Cherif and Stephen Mfuni. The visitors will be looking to bring that confidence into an away match against a Tottenham defence under pressure to improve.

Solanke’s goal against Manchester United provided Spurs with a recent scoring contribution. Tottenham will need support from their midfield and wide players to create chances, particularly if Coventry defend compactly. These are the key match questions rather than a prediction of the final score.
