Coventry City vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-To-Head and Key Numbers​


  • Tottenham hold the upper hand in the history of this fixture, having won 43 of the last 91 meetings between the two teams.
  • Coventry City have picked up 26 wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 22 occasions.
  • Tottenham are on a four-game winning streak against Robins’ men, scoring 11 goals and keeping four clean sheets since a 2-1 loss in October 2000.
  • Postecoglou’s men have failed to win seven of their last eight away matches, losing five and picking up two draws since March.
  • Coventry have lost just one of their last six games across all competitions while claiming three wins and two draws since mid-August.
 
Oh boy, brings back memories of that FA Cup final loss in 1987 - the most Spurzy season ever! :-(

Hopefully same team as yesterday except for Odebert for Son, Bergvall for Maddison and Dragusin for Romero.
Clean sheet please.

We dare not lose this!

Gray
Sarr Bergvall
Johnson Solanke Odobert

With Moore on the bench to get some game time. Shame Lankshear is still injured.

Would rather see Gray at CM, but he could play RB and Bissouma in at CM

I like that team
Pace and energy
 
We need to start thinking about winning games/trophys again and we should start in this game. Lets not mess about like we did against Fulham last year and send a strong team out to get a win[ some of the natives are getting restless about our form and we need a win to offset that.

Not saying we should not get our youngsters on the pitch but lets start out with a strong team get the lead and THEN give them a run.

I would rather start with some of the youngsters than watch us slowly build up to try and play the final ball through 5 defenders.

Well as they say its all about o pinions however we are badly in need of a win and lets get the game won and then send on the youngsters. We have all seen our team sent out with far too many changes in cup games over the years [ Fulham being a example last season] and it generally does not end well.

We really need to take the cups this years seriously and try to win something. imo
 
--------------------------Austin
--------Spence---Dragusin---Davies
Johnson--Obobert---Gray---Bergvall---Moore
----------------Lankshear----Solanke

So full changes, except Solanke and Johnson who need minutes

I agree we need a win, and I would get why we would send the same team back out to keep consistency. I just don't think it's the same as in the past letting finge players get their 8th or 9th chance to impress. Bergvall and Gray have both looked impressive when they have played as has Dragusin.

I think the current lot of youngsters are far more capable and confident than what we've had before. Imo they were far better than the "1st team" in pre season. Much more on the front foot, better movement and just looked like they enjoyed it. If they show half of that, they'll beat Coventry easily. Spence, Gray, Bergvall, Odobert and Moore should all get a lot of minutes in that game. Mix that with Reguilon, Dragusin, Solanke, Werner and Sarr, and it should be plenty.

Isn't it worrying that the youngsters look far better than the '1st team'? I mean, maybe one or two players, sure but so many at once?

It worries me that the longer players spend playing for Ange so few actually look like they improve/enjoy playing...

Not sure it's a good idea to play Lankshear while he is injured

His expected return date was the weekend just gone, so he should be back for this unless he's had a relapse. It was only a minor hammy, nearly a month ago.

He'd still be more effective than Werner though - one hamstring or two
