They were beaten 3-0 by Arsenal on the opening weekend of the season at the Emirates Stadium. That result wasn’t a major shock. However, Coventry lost 1-0 to Hull City at home last weekend, which is a result that will sting the newly promoted outfit. Coventry City will be hoping to kickstart their 2026-27 Premier League campaign by putting in a good display against Manchester City. If they could pick up a point or snag an upset victory, it would be a massive boost for Frank Lampard’s team. So Coventry City will be no pushover this Saturday at the Etihad Stadium.
