Sutton's predictions: Man City v Coventry City

[BBC] This is a tale of two Citys - one of whom has made the best of starts to the season, while the other has had the worst. Manchester City wiped the floor with Crystal Palace last week but it was their comeback to beat Bournemouth at the Etihad which felt bigger, because it was the beginning of a new era under Enzo Maresca. In contrast, Coventry City have had a terrible time. Not their 3-0 opening defeat at Arsenal , because they can forget about that, but they must feel so deflated after losing 1-0 at home to another promoted side in Hull City last time out. That must have hurt. This game is more like the Arsenal one, in that no-one is expecting Coventry to get anything, but the upshot is they are likely to be left without a point or even a goal after their first three games. There were some doubts about Manchester City after the way they lost the Community Shield against Arsenal, but they look a different proposition already. Maresca has made more signings in the past few days, including Enzo Fernandez from his old club Chelsea for £125m. I've heard people question whether Fernandez is worth the big money that City paid, but Maresca knows him well and I see him as a great addition to their midfield. I said before the Bournemouth game I didn't think they could win the title without Rodri, but they have rebuilt their midfield now with Fernandez and Ayyoub Bouaddi joining Elliot Anderson as new signings, and they have got real strength in there now. I like Erling Haaland's new haircut too. It suits him far more than a ponytail. He looks a bit rougher and tougher and I don't think Coventry will keep him out.
