Spurs remain winless after six matches in the Premier League and remain at the very bottom of the table as they seek to jump ahead of 16th place Coventry City this week.

Tottenham have beaten Coventry in their last five meetings between 2001 and 2024. The North London side are favourites heading into the clash as they rally their home support for a clash that could be an early relegation scrap.

Coventry’s last win in this fixture came back in December 1997, when they cruised to a 4-0 victory at Highfield Road.
