Coventry lost 3-1 at Tottenham on Monday in their pursuit of a third straight win
Fulham ended a six-game winless run with last weekend’s 1-0 win over Hull
Coventry's last six home games have produced 25 goals
Just one point and one place separates Premier League strugglers Coventry and Fulham in the standings and even at this early stage in the season a defeat could be damaging.
The Sky Blues lost their first four matches back in the top-flight but wins over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle have softened the blow, while Fulham claimed their first victory at the seventh attempt at home to Hull.

Team News
Coventry remain without long-term absentees Luke Woolfenden, Haji Wright, Josh Eccles and Aurele Amenda but Ephron Mason-Clark could be pushing to be recalled to the starting line-up.
Fulham are without the suspended Ryan Sessegnon and Hugo Larsson is a doubt with a groin injury.
However, there is good news for the Cottagers with Emile Smith Rowe having been deemed fit for selection.
Need to know
Early evidence suggests it could be a season of struggle for both Coventry and Fulham and the pair will be desperate to claim three precious points this weekend.
Coventry were no match for Tottenham on Monday, losing 3-1, but they had recorded wins over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest prior to that and may be finding their feet in the Premier League.
Fulham failed to win any of their opening six league games but manager Alvaro Arbeloa relieved some pressure with last Saturday’s hard-fought 1-0 success at home to Hull.
Prediction
Going into this weekend’s Premier League fixtures, only Crystal Palace and Sunderland have conceded more goals than Coventry’s 14, but their 4-1 win over Newcastle in their last home game will provide confidence.
Fulham were dominant in last weekend’s win over Hull, winning the shot count 18-5, but they have lost on trips to Ipswich and Sunderland to suggest goals are the way to go.
Jack Rudoni has been one of Coventry’s shining lights and he has scored in their last two games against Newcastle and Tottenham. He can force at least a save from Bernd Leno.
Caleb Yirenkyi picked up his third yellow card of the season in Coventry’s 3-1 loss at Spurs and 12 fouls in seven league appearances suggests another booking could come his way.
