After a quarter of a century away, Coventry City are back in the Premier League, returning in style as Championship champions.
Find out the LiveScore Bet odds for the Sky Blues’ long-awaited return to the top tier of English football.
All odds are correct at the time of writing.
Coventry to be relegated in 2026/27: Outright odds and predictions
The leap from Championship to Premier League is surely the biggest between any two levels of the English pyramid – and Frank Lampard’s Coventry will be acutely aware of the challenge that lies ahead.
And recent shows that winning the Championship title is by no means a guarantee of Premier League survival: three of the last five second-tier champions have gone straight back down – Leeds being the exception, finishing ninth in 2020/21 and 14th last season.
Coventry to finish bottom in 2026/27: Outright odds and predictions
More reassuringly for Coventry, only twice since 2014 have the Championship champions gone on to finish bottom of the Premier League the following season – and it was the same side both times, Norwich City.
LiveScore Bet has Coventry at 11/4 to finish bottom.
Coventry to secure a top-10 finish in 2026/27: Outright odds and predictions
Equally, a fair share of newly promoted teams have made quite an impact on the top flight – look no further than Sunderland, who finished seventh last term.
Granted, Coventry haven’t splashed the cash as other clubs have done in the past, but that isn’t necessarily needed to adapt to this level.
The Sky Blues are 18/1 with LiveScore Bet to finish in the top 10.
Coventry’s opening Premier League fixture of 2026/27: Odds and predictions
Coventry couldn’t have been handed a sterner test for their first Premier League fixture since 2001 as they head to champions Arsenal for the 2026/27 curtain-raiser (Friday 21st August, 8pm BST).
It’s absolutely no surprise that the hosts are firm favourites, then – with the Sky Blues having not beaten the Gunners on the road since a 3-0 win at Highbury in August 1993 (though, perhaps ominously, that was also on the opening weekend of the campaign…).
