Brighton visit winless Coventry in Premier League clash

Brighton and Hove Albion travel to the Coventry Building Society Arena on Sunday to face Coventry City in a Premier League fixture that pits a team seeking its first points against a side aiming to climb the table. The match, kicking off at 2 p.m. BST, marks the first Premier League meeting between the two clubs. Coventry City, managed by Frank Lampard, are yet to score a goal or earn a point in their first three matches since returning to the top flight. They have suffered narrow 1-0 defeats to Hull City and Manchester City, following an opening loss to Arsenal. Brighton, under Fabian Hurzeler, have won one, drawn one, and lost one of their opening three games. A victory for the Seagulls could lift them as high as fourth in the table. Hurzeler has named an unchanged starting XI for the trip. The lineup features goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, a centre-back pairing of Lewis Dunk and Luka Vuskovic, and a midfield anchored by Yasin Ayari and Pascal Gross. Charalampos Kostoulas leads the attack. The manager confirmed that forward Georginio Rutter remains unavailable as he recovers from a foot injury, stating the trip came too soon for the Frenchman.
