Coventry will look to record their first Premier League win since promotion when they host Brighton this afternoon.
It has been a difficult start for the Sky Blues with defeats at Arsenal and Manchester City either side of a disappointing home defeat by fellow new-boys Hull.
Brighton started with a bang, thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 on the opening weekend, but have failed to hit those heights since, losing at Chelsea and drawing with Leeds.
Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler said: “[Coventry are] A tough opponent. They played really well against Manchester City and created a lot of chances. They look compact and didn’t give away many chances. They are having a good process. We have to focus on us to play for 90 minutes with a lot of energy and intensity.”
COVENTRY TEAM NEWS
Coventry boss Frank Lampard named the same XI that performed so well against City which means several of the club’s summer signings have to be content with a place on the bench.

Coventry substitutes: Bentley, Sakamoto, Yirenkyi, Mfuni, Tchaouna, Thomas-Asante, Torp, Hamer, Cherif
BRIGHTON TEAM NEWS
