It has been a dismal start to the Premier League season for Coventry, who are without a point heading into Sunday's clash against Brighton at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

The Sky Blues have also failed to score and they will be hoping for an improvement when hosting the Seagulls, who were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Leeds last weekend.

Team news

Coventry are missing the injured quartet of Haji Wright, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden.

Sidiki Cherif could be involved in the matchday squad as he continues to build match fitness and on-loan defender Stephen Mfuni is available, having been ineligible to face parent club Manchester City last weekend. 

Brighton also have a lengthy injury list with Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, Mats Wieffer, Stefanos Tzimas, Evan Ferguson and Zadok Yohanna all sidelined.

Femi Azeez, Georginio Rutter and Michael Svoboda could all be fit enough to make the bench.

The stats

Coventry have lost all three Premier League games, and have yet to score a goal.

Brighton are without a win in their last two matches, losing 4-3 at Chelsea and drawing 1-1 at home to Leeds.

Diego Gomez has had 12 shots for Brighton in three league appearances, averaging four per match.

Coventry's Jack Rudoni has managed a shot on target in three of his four outings this season.

Coventry forward Ephron Mason-Clark has committed five fouls across his last two games.

Prediction

Coventry have perhaps been unlucky not to have picked up a point this season but there is not enough confidence to back them to win at home to Brighton, who have not won away from home in their last five matches.

Leaving the match result market alone looks like the smart option for this contest, but there is still value to be had elsewhere, starting with Diego Gomez to have over 2.5 shots.

The Brighton forward has attempted a club-leading 12 shots in the first three league matches, racking up three against Aston Villa, five against Chelsea and four against Leeds.

Gomez also registered four shots in the second leg of the Conference League play-off tie against Tromso and he can fire off at least three against Coventry.

Leg two of this bet builder is for Coventry's Ephron Mason-Clark to commit at least two fouls, which he has achieved in his last two outings against Hull and Manchester City.

The final selection is for Mason-Clark's team-mate, Jack Rudoni, to manage a shot on target, just like he did in the loss to the Citizens last weekend.

Rudoni has tested the goalkeeper in three of his four appearances this season and he can repeat the trick against Brighton.

Score prediction: Coventry 1-1 Brighton

Back Diego Gomez over 2.5 shots, Ephron Mason-Clark over 1.5 fouls committed & Jack Rudoni over 0.5 shots on target @ 14/1 with LiveScore Bet
