The Midlands outfit fell to a late 1-0 home loss against Fulham last time out. Coventry allowed 0.55 XG and conceded with 11 minutes remaining.
Sunderland Struggle on the Road
Sunderland are out of form away this season and have failed to win in five of their six games on the road. The Wearside team are the Premier League’s worst away side after gaining one point from four matches.

Regis Le Bris’ side drew two games in a row after the Bournemouth loss. Sunderland were held to a 1-1 draw at Lech Poznan and played out a goalless stalemate at home against Leeds.
The north east outfit beat Brentford 3-2 in the EFL Cup at home on Wednesday. Chemsdine Talbi, Timur Tuterov and Malick Fofana scored in the opening 39 minutes before Sunderland conceded twice.
