Coventry will be looking to record their first Premier League win since promotion when they host Brighton this afternoon
It has been a difficult start for the Sky Blues with defeats at Arsenal and Manchester City either side of a disappointing home defeat by fellow champions Hull.
Brighton started with a bang, thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 on the opening weekend, but have failed to reach those heights since, losing to Chelsea and drawing with Leeds.
Seagulls coach Fabian Hurzeler said: “(Coventry are) a tough opponent. They played very well against Manchester City and created a lot of chances. They look compact and didn’t give away many chances. They are doing a good process. We have to focus on ourselves to play 90 minutes with a lot of energy and intensity.”
