- Home form: Spurs have failed to win any of their 3 home Premier League 2026/2027 games so far, drawing 1 and losing 2.
- Away form: Coventry have started their road life in the Premier League 2026/2027 with 1 win and 2 losses from 3 matches.
- Recent results: The Sky Blues have won their last 2 matches, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Newcastle 4-1.
A tale of two contrasting managers
De Zerbi's approach
Roberto De Zerbi has brought some fresh ideas to the Premier League 2026/2027, bringing a possession-heavy, press-baiting style to Spurs with wide overloads and patient build-up play to the game.
Form and momentum
The problem is, it hasn't been working so far for Spurs, who have taken just 3 points from 6 games to sit 19th in the league table, and that's why Frank Lampard's high-energy Sky Blues are coming into this game on a 2-match winning streak. The Sky Blues' last 5 games have seen them win 2 and lose 3, but those back-to-back wins, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 away and Newcastle 4-1 at home, have given them the momentum they need to put together a run.
Goals in the forecast
So it looks set up as a chess match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday – Tottenham will want to control this game and try to break Coventry down, while the visitors will want to nick it high and then break quickly on the counter. That makes the odds seem off here, with Spurs at 1.45, Coventry at 6.6 and the draw at 4.35.
We think the visitors have a chance of making it a really close contest because of their momentum and the fact that Spurs have looked so inconsistent recently. De Zerbi's side have won 0, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their last 5, which is not exactly a winning recipe.
Home team have the firepower
There's no doubting that Spurs should have the quality to edge it though.
Players to watch
- Conor Gallagher is their main goal threat, leading the Premier League 2026/2027 scoring table with 1 goal, but also scoring 2 of Spurs' last 4 goals across all competitions.
- Andrew Robertson has been excellent in midfield for them too, providing 1 assist in 5 appearances.
- Jay Dasilva has been the key player for Coventry in 5 games so far, scoring 1 in 5 and providing a useful threat from deep and wide areas.
