Man City Vs Coventry Preview
An unconvincing MD1 win against Bournemouth was followed up by Man City thrashing Crystal Palace last time out which means Enzo Maresca is looking for a hat-trick of wins to start his Etihad reign with a bang.
Braces from Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki were enough to down the sorry Eagles 4-1 at Selhurst Park – which was a vastly improved performance from the side who scrapped a narrow 2-1 win over the Cherries.
As for Coventry, being back in the big time has served as something of a reality check. Going down 3-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates was hardly a disgrace but the home loss to Hull suggests the 2026-27 campaign has the potential to be a long slog for the Sky Blues.
