Summarised from 4 outlets · 5 reports · Updated 19 Oct, 19:14 · Archive

Tottenham face Coventry at home on Monday seeking their first Premier League victory of the season.

Tottenham face Coventry City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday 19 October, with kick-off at 8pm. The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage beginning at 6.30pm. A win would lift Tottenham out of the relegation zone after they failed to win any of their opening six games.

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that Dejan Kulusevski will be available on the bench. The Swedish playmaker has not played a competitive match since May 2025, having undergone two surgeries for a knee injury that kept him out for more than 500 days. De Zerbi said the extended break between matches provides a good opportunity to reintegrate Kulusevski.

Tottenham will be without Lucas Bergvall and Savio, while vice-captain Pedro Porro is also ruled out with a hamstring injury. The club has said Porro should be fit for next weekend's match against Chelsea. Coventry will be missing defenders Luke Woolfenden and Aurele Amenda, midfielder Josh Eccles and striker Haji Wright.

Coventry arrive in north London on a run of back-to-back victories over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle since the international break, lifting concerns about their survival prospects after being promoted from the Championship. Coventry manager Frank Lampard has experience of winning away at Tottenham, having done so as Chelsea manager.

Lampard told Sky Sports that the Premier League demands a step up in preparation, noting that his side has been working to improve their physical and running metrics across games. He said recent performances have shown they can compete with other teams in the division.
