Premier League Quick Preview: Coventry City Vs Brighton
It's been a tough start for Coventry City on their return to the Premier League for the first time in a quarter of a century, but they have yet to score or pick up a point.
Brighton started the season on fire with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa, but they have only picked up a point in their last two league encounters.
Betting apps make the Seagulls favourites, but Frank Lampard's side will see this as an opportunity to score their first goal and get their first point - or points.
Brighton To Score
Coventry have yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Brighton have scored at least one goal in all three of their matches.
Fabian Hurzeler's side love to attack and Diego Gomez leads the team with 12 shots so far, while defender Luka Vuskovic has 2 in each game.
Even though they are the away side, Brighton will have seen how Hull City managed to win to nil at the CBS Arena last month.

Frank Lampard deserves time to get his Coventry side up to speed in the Premier League, but the longer the Sky Blues go without a goal or a point, the quicker the pressure will appear.
Brighton will have been disappointed with the manner of their defeat to Chelsea - scoring three times at Stamford Bridge, but this is a great chance for the Seagulls to get their season back on track.
