What happened. Coventry City have lost their first four Premier League games, failing to score, after facing four of the current top five. They remain pointless ahead of matchweek five.
- Four of Coventry's opening opponents are currently in the top five.
- Frank Lampard's squad had only five players with 20+ Premier League appearances.
- Fans showed defiance at the CBS Arena, backing the team despite the poor start.
“We went one down from a moment of quality. Welcome to the Premier League.”
— Frank Lampard
Coventry travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, aiming to adapt physically and avoid being bullied out of the division.
