Recent form points different ways
Coventry have won two of their last five matches but lost three, the most recent a 1-3 reverse against Tottenham. Coventry host Newcastle looking to build on first win ended 4-1 to the home side, their biggest return of the season so far, but the sequence also includes a 0-5 defeat to Brighton.
Fulham arrive having won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five. They beat Hull 1-0 most recently after Fulham host Hull City looking to climb off the bottom, and also drew 0-0 with Liverpool and 1-1 with Manchester in that run. A win on Saturday would lift them to eight points from eight matches; Coventry would reach nine from eight with three points.
Coventry hold the edge in past meetings
The two previous encounters both went Coventry's way, 3-1 in April 2022 and 4-1 in October 2021. Those two matches produced nine goals between them. The market assigns Fulham a 40.7 per cent chance of victory, Coventry 32.4 per cent and the draw 26.9 per cent, suggesting a tight contest despite the away side's slightly better recent record.
