Liam Rosenior may have had concerns about the direction of his squad after they lost their first two matches of the season, including a defeat to Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Cup. However, Hull has bounced back by earning 10 out of a possible 12 points, with wins over Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers, and Leicester City. Although there was some disappointment with a 1-1 draw against Bristol City at home, their 1-0 victory over Leicester City has propelled Hull into the top six. A goal by Manchester City loanee Liam Delap early in the game proved to be the deciding factor, and Delap now has two goals and one assist from his five Championship starts. Additionally, Hull achieved their first clean sheet of the season at the King Power Stadium. Nonetheless, they now face a new challenge against Coventry.
Hull City Predicted Lineup
Ingram; Coyle, Jones, Greaves, Vinagre; Slater, Seri; Delap, Tufan, Twine; Connolly
Coventry City form
Coventry, currently in the bottom half of the table, have only suffered one defeat in the Championship season so far. This loss occurred against Leicester on the first weekend, where they conceded two late goals. However, the team bounced back with an impressive 3-0 win against Middlesbrough. Despite this, they have since had three consecutive draws. One of these draws was an admirable comeback, as Coventry managed to equalize three times against Watford to secure a 3-3 result. With a four-point gap separating them from sixth-placed Hull, manager Mark Robins will feel a sense of urgency to bring his team back into contention. This is important considering that no team in the division has been able to win all five of their opening games.
Coventry City Predicted Lineup
Wilson; Thomas, McFadzean, Latibeaudiere; Van Ewijk, Eccles, Sheaf, Bidwell; Ayari; Godden, Wright
