Coventry City vs Hull City – Predicted lineup and team news

Coventry City play their first Premier League home fixture in 25 years on Saturday, looking to respond after a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal on the opening weekend. Frank Lampard’s side showed a more encouraging response in midweek, beating Plymouth Argyle 4-2 in the Carabao Cup.

Haji Wright is the only confirmed absentee, sidelined with a thigh injury, with no other fitness doubts reported ahead of kick-off. Frank Onyeka, who completed a permanent move from Brentford after a promotion-winning loan spell last season, is expected to retain his place in central midfield having started the defeat at Arsenal.

Taiwo Awoniyi scored and turned provider on his full debut against Plymouth and is pushing for a first Premier League start after his summer move. Lampard is expected to make only minor changes from the side beaten at Arsenal, with Loum Tchaouna and Brandon Thomas-Asante retaining their places either side of the attack. Matt Grimes and Caleb Yirenkyi are set to continue anchoring midfield alongside Onyeka, giving the side a settled platform after their opening-day exposure to Premier League pace.
