Preview for Tottenham v Coventry

Six games in, and Tottenham are still waiting. Roberto De Zerbi’s side host newly promoted Coventry City on Monday Night Football looking for their first Premier League win of the season, and they are up against a Coventry side arriving in north London with real momentum.

Spurs at least showed signs of life last weekend. They were the better side for the first hour at Old Trafford, and although Bryan Mbeumo put Manchester United ahead, Dominic Solanke headed in a 92nd-minute equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw with 10 men. Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off and the point still left Spurs 19th.

De Zerbi took his squad to Marbella this week for team-bonding and warm-weather training, and a home game against a promoted side looks like the best chance yet to finally get off the mark.

Coventry won’t make it easy. Frank Lampard’s side have won their last two games, including an impressive victory over Newcastle United in which they were devastating on the counter-attack, and they arrive in 14th. Only three points separate the two sides, so the Sky Blues know a defeat could see them slip towards the bottom three.

Their only previous trip to north London this season was a chastening one. They were beaten 3-0 by champions Arsenal at the Emirates on the opening night. Coventry have conceded 11 goals in six league games, and they’ve struggled to keep teams out on the road.

History is on Tottenham’s side, too. Spurs have won the last five meetings between the clubs in all competitions, and the only recent one came in September 2024, when they won a League Cup tie at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Team News for Tottenham v Coventry

Bentancur is suspended after his red card at Old Trafford, which weakens Tottenham’s control in midfield. Pedro Porro (thigh) is still out, so Archie Gray will continue at right-back.

Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert (both knee) remain long-term absentees, and Mykhaylo Mudryk (ankle) is also unavailable. Dejan Kulusevski is pushing to return after playing in a behind-closed-doors game during the international break, but this could still come too soon.

Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke have both recovered from the knocks they picked up on international duty and are expected to continue at centre-back.

Coventry are boosted by the return of Taiwo Awoniyi, who has served his suspension, and Kaine Kesler-Hayden is also available. Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden are still sidelined. Haji Wright is a long-term absentee with a quad problem, and Aurele Amenda is not expected back until December.
