Newly promoted Coventry concede a lot of goals and have shipped six in just three games this season.

Frank Lampard’s outfit were outplayed in a 3-0 opening-day defeat at Arsenal and were 2-0 down after 23 minutes. Coventry replied by defeating third-tier Plymouth 4-2 in the EFL Cup.

The Sky Blues fell to back-to-back Premier League defeats following a 1-0 home loss against Hull. Coventry were unthreatening with 11 shots and conceded in the last 10 minutes.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Man City (4-2-3-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Abdukodir Khusanov, Ruben Dias, Marc Guehi, Joskov Gvardiol; Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez; Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden, Antoine Semenyo; Erling Haaland

Defender Matheus Nunes is an injury doubt. Winger Jeremy Doku is ruled out with a calf issue.

Enzo Fernandez is available after completing his £140 million move from Chelsea. The midfielder shared his goals following the high-profile transfer and said, “So for me it’s a privilege to be here and give 100% every day, to take the club as high as possible.”

Frank Onyeka is likely to return after missing the Hull match. Frank Lampard was positive about the midfielder’s fitness and explained he is “hopefully good for next week”.

Verdict

Man City v Coventry

Man City look sharp in attack and can secure a home win with over 3.5 goals against struggling Coventry. Erling Haaland was back in form at Palace and can get on the scoresheet in this Premier League game.
