It was a baptism of fire for Coventry when they returned to the Premier League last week but the Sky Blues will be ready for a carnival atmosphere when top-flight football returns to the Midlands city for the first time in 25 years.
Hull City, the Championship play-off winners in May, are the opposition and the Tigers could hardly have asked for a better start last weekend as they tumbled Manchester United in a 2-0 win.
Both Championship meetings ended all square last season and another close battle is likely now at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Team news
Coventry remain without Haji Wright, their top goalscorer in the Championship last season, as well as defender Luke Woolfenden.
Striker Taiwo Awoniyi signed from Nottingham Forest earlier this month and got two in the midweek EFL Cup win, ensuring he is in line for a starting role here.
Despite the buzz created from their win over Man Utd, the Tigers continue to operate with an injury last that includes Charlie Hughes, Oscar Zambrano, Darko Gyabi, Eliot Matazo, Matty Jacob, Joe Gelhardt and Jack Butland.
The stats
Coventry lost just two of their 23 home Championship games last season (W17, D4).
Both meetings between these clubs in the second tier in 2025-26 ended scoreless, making it three draws in a row.
They have met five times at the Coventry Building Society Arena since 2022, with two Hulls wins, two draws and just a solitary success for the Sky Blues.
Hull finished 22 points behind Coventry last season and the Tigers have gone 18 away Premier League games without a victory (D3, L15).
Hull collected 115 yellow cards in the Championship last season, more than any other team.
Victor Torp scored one and created another as Coventry won 4-2 at Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Cup in midweek. The Dane scored 10 and laid on seven in the Championship last season.

Prediction
Going to the Emirates to face champions Arsenal on their Premier League return was a tough ask for Coventry and they duly went down 3-0 but, by contrast, the Sky Blues might not have handpicked a better opponent for their first top flight game at home in 25 years.
Hull were 22 points behind Coventry last season in the Championship, although both meetings ended without a goal.
A rapturous atmosphere awaits the teams here and it can propel the host to a win. Victor Torp looked sharp in midweek at Plymouth and had 17 goal involvements last season, the Dane could be a key player here for the home side.
Coventry's last eight competitive matches of last season all featured fewer than 10 corners, while for Hull their last seven games have averaged just north of six per-game. The teams may not hit double figures here.
Score prediction: Coventry 2-0 Hull
