Tottenham's preparations for Monday's fixture included a training camp in Marbella as De Zerbi looks to improve the mood around a club that narrowly avoided relegation last season, when they finished 17th in the standings.

The Lilywhites have carried their poor performances into this campaign, having managed only three draws and three defeats across their six Premier League matches, leaving them as one of only three sides in the division yet to record a victory.

However, De Zerbi would have been pleased with his side's most recent display after Spurs held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw despite being reduced to 10 men following Rodrigo Bentancur's dismissal before Solanke's stoppage-time equaliser.

Tottenham now have an opportunity to build on that result, especially as they play host to a side they have beaten in each of their last three home games, while keeping clean sheets in three of the last four encounters between the sides at their own ground.

Coventry have responded impressively to a difficult return to the top flight, following four consecutive defeats at the beginning of their campaign with a narrow victory over Nottingham Forest before producing a convincing 4-1 success against Newcastle.

The upturn has lifted Lampard's side out of the relegation zone, and they now sit three points above the drop zone as they look to continue that momentum here.

However, winning away from home remains another hurdle for the Sky Blues, who have not recorded consecutive Premier League away victories since August 2000 and would need to overcome that longstanding obstacle to claim all three points in North London.

Coventry could receive a boost from Taiwo Awoniyi's return after suspension, but injuries to Aurele Amenda and Haji Wright leave Lampard without some of his available options.

Whispers predicts: Tottenham 2-0 Coventry

Tottenham are worth backing to claim their first league victory of the season at 1.45 (9/20), with their stronger historical record against Coventry offering encouragement despite their difficult start to the campaign.

Backing both teams not to score at 2.05 (21/20) is also worth considering, as the Sky Blues have struggled to produce goals consistently in the league this season and Spurs will be keen to build on their defensive resilience against Manchester United after playing much of that match with 10 men.

Dominic Solanke to score or assist at 1.80 (4/5) looks appealing given his late equaliser against United, which underlined his ability to make an impact even when Tottenham are under pressure.

A 2-0 Tottenham victory at 9.00 (8/1) offers an alternative for those looking for a more speculative correct-score selection.
