The table tells its own story

Tottenham have three points from six played and sit twentieth. A win would lift them to six points from seven; anything else leaves them on four or fewer. Coventry, sixteenth on six points from six, would reach nine with victory. The market implies a 63.9 per cent chance of a home win, 20.2 per cent for a draw and 15.8 per cent for Coventry.

Flagside reported recently on Tottenham's first-goal problem, explained, and the numbers since have not improved. Their last five recent matches produced no wins, three draws and two defeats. Coventry's last five brought two wins, no draws and three defeats, including the 4-1 victory over Newcastle that followed their first win of the campaign.

Four meetings, four wins

The four head-to-head meetings on record all went Tottenham's way: 2-1 in 2024, then 3-0, 3-0 and 2-0 in earlier years. Those four matches contain eleven goals in total. The most recent came in September 2024; the oldest dates to January 2002.
