Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City Preview

Tottenham sit 19th in the Premier League table without a win in six league games, and they host 14th-placed Coventry City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night. Spurs have drawn three and lost three of those six, scored just three goals and sit on three points with a goal difference of -6. Coventry are three points better off on six after a 4-1 home win over Newcastle on 12 October, though they have lost four of their six league games and also carry a -6 goal difference. The clubs have met five times on record, and Tottenham have won all five. Kick-off in north London is at 8pm UK time.

Tottenham are winless in five, with three draws and two defeats, scoring four goals and conceding seven. The latest was a 1-1 draw away at Manchester United in the Premier League on 10 October. Prior to that, Aston Villa won 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 19 September, the highest-scoring game of the five, and Liverpool beat Tottenham 3-1 in the EFL Cup on 15 September. Further back, they drew 0-0 at home against Everton on 12 September and 0-0 away at Nottingham on 5 September. Spurs failed to score in two of the five, and both of those were goalless draws. Their two home games in the sample brought one draw and one defeat, and they conceded in three of the five games.

Coventry’s last five read W2 L3, with six goals scored and 10 conceded, and the two wins are the two most recent results. The 4-1 home win over Newcastle in the Premier League on 12 October was the biggest margin of the five. Before that, Coventry won 1-0 away at Nottingham on 19 September, their only clean sheet in the run. Further back, Aston Villa won 3-1 in the EFL Cup on 16 September, Brighton won 5-0 at Coventry on 13 September, and Manchester City won 1-0 in the league on 5 September. The 5-0 defeat is the heaviest of the five. Coventry won one and lost two of their three home games in the sample, and they conceded in four of the five games.

Tottenham hold a perfect record in the five meetings listed, with five wins to Coventry’s none and no draws, and the aggregate reads 13-1. The most recent was a 2-1 Tottenham win away in the EFL Cup on 18 September 2024, and before that Tottenham won 3-0 at home in the FA Cup on 5 January 2013. Coventry’s only goal in the five came in that 2024 game, and three of the five wins were by three goals. The only Premier League meeting among them is Tottenham’s 3-0 home win on 17 March 2001, so Monday’s fixture is the first league meeting listed since then.

Coventry are 14th in the Premier League table on six points with a goal difference of -6, and Tottenham are 19th on three points, also on -6. A win would take Tottenham to six points, level with Coventry.
