Brighton & Hove Albion will attempt to bounce back to winning form on September 13 when they travel to Coventry City in the Premier League.

Sky Blues Struggling on Premier League Return

Frank Lampard’s Coventry City have failed to match their standards from last season’s promotion-winning campaign in this year’s Premier League to date.

The Sky Blues have fallen to three straight league losses, and they are yet to score in 2026-27. Taiwo Awoniyi will be crucial to getting the team on the board in front of goal, as he has scored once in three in all competitions since joining from Nottingham Forest.

Confidence could be gained from Coventry’s recent outing. They restricted Manchester City to just one goal and three shots on target at the Etihad Stadium. Lampard will be without Luke Woolfenden and Haji Wright on Sunday.

Coventry City predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion (3-4-2-1): Rushworth; Thomas, Amenda, Pinnock; van Ewijk, Onyeka, Grimes, Dasilva; Mason-Clark, Rudoni; Awoniyi

Seagulls Chasing Return to Form

Fabian Hürzeler will be hopeful of a response from his Brighton side this weekend following a run of two without a win. The Seagulls will need to improve defensively, as they have allowed five goals during their winless run.

However, they can still build confidence on the back of their attack, scoring 12 goals in their previous four matches across all competitions. Maxim De Cuyper has been in excellent recent form, registering four goal involvements in as many appearances.

Hürzeler will be without a number of crucial players this weekend, with Mats Wieffer, Jack Hinshelwood, and Yankuba Minteh all absent due to injury. Kaoru Mitoma should be fit enough to return after the international break.

Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Coventry City (4-2-3-1): Vebruggen; Kadioglu, Vuskovic, Dunk, Boscagli; Gross, Ayari; Gomez, Yalcouye, De Cuyper; Kostoulas
