Head-to-Head

Manchester City and Coventry City have not met in the last 15 years, leaving this fixture in a complete unknown. 

The host’s do have a good record against newly promoted sides, beating all three sides that came up last season, something they will want to repeat once again.

Frank Lampard’s Coventry have lost both their opening games, with the most damaging loss coming against Hull City, who came up with them via the play-offs.

Key Statistics

  • Manchester City average three goals per game but have not kept a clean sheet in eight games.
  • Coventry City scored four goals against Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Cup, form they now hope will translate the Premier League.
  • Manchester City’s Erling Haaland scored seven goals for Norway in this summer’s FIFA World Cup.
  • Coventry City’s Stephen Mfuni is ineligible to play in this game, as he is on-loan from Manchester City.

Manchester City vs Coventry City Picks

Coventry City just have not found their feet in the Premier League as of yet, and their fixture list is not getting easier. A game against anyone else would be preferred at this stage.

Manchester City are not yet the finished product under Enzo Maresca but their performance against Crystal Palace is enough to make me think they will win this game.

Other markets include Erling Haaland to score two or more goals, Rayan Cherki to get two or more assists and Carl Rushworth to make two or more saves.
