Battle of the promoted sides: Coventry chase their first points against an in-form Hull
Two newly promoted sides meet at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry lost 3-0 away to Arsenal, while Hull pulled off a sensational 2-0 home win over Manchester United. Lampard needs to find solutions in attack.
- Hamer and Rudoni are pushing for places in Coventry's starting XI after impressive substitute appearances.
- Hull played with a back five and kept United out – expect the same approach here.
- Both teams rely on set pieces to score.

Our prediction
Under 2.5 goals · Goals
Hull kept a clean sheet in their opener, and Coventry created very little against Arsenal. A nervy clash between the promoted sides.
Coventry to win or draw · Match
A significant home advantage for a Coventry side who need to deliver in front of their own fans.
Ellis Simms to score at any time · Goalscorer
Simms is Coventry's only out-and-out striker and faces a Hull defence that allows crosses into the box.
Coventry 1–1 Hull City
