Coventry's inability to find the back of the net has been a major concern for the team, despite their efforts to cause problems for opposition teams. Even when down to 10 men, Coventry has shown glimpses of resilience, but ultimately, they have been unable to find the goal that would give their confidence a much-needed boost. This has led to relegation fears becoming a realistic concern for the promoted club.
Coventry has already faced three of the top flight's European contingent, and their struggles have been compounded by individual errors, such as Taiwo Awoniyi's red card for an elbow into Maxim De Cuyper's face. The team's fans will be hoping that Frank Lampard can lift his troops and the team's morale, but it will take some effort to do so after such a dominant defeat.
Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, have been in fine form, scoring more goals and creating more big chances than any other team in the Premier League this season. Their head coach, Fabian Hürzeler, has expressed confidence in his team's ability to replace the departed Danny Welbeck, and his faith has been vindicated by their recent performances.
The only other team to lose their four opening Premier League games without scoring was Crystal Palace in 2017-18, who ended that season in 11th place. Coventry will be hoping to avoid a similar fate, but their next match will be a crucial test of their resolve.
