Coventry will look to record their first Premier League win since promotion when they host Brighton this afternoon. It has been a difficult start for the Sky Blues with defeats at Arsenal and Manchester City either side of a disappointing home defeat by fellow new-boys Hull.Brighton started with a bang, thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 on the opening weekend, but have failed to hit those heights since, losing at Chelsea and drawing with Leeds.Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler said: [Coventry are] A tough opponent. They played really well against Manchester City and created a lot of chances. They look compact and didnt give away many chances. They are having a good process. We have to focus on us to play for 90 minutes with a lot of energy and intensity.Table of ContentsCOVENTRY TEAM NEWSBRIGHTON TEAM NEWSWhere to watch Coventry v BrightonCOVENTRY TEAM NEWSCoventry boss Frank Lampard named the same XI that performed so well against City which means several of the clubs summer signings have to be content with a place on the bench.Coventry: Rushworth; Pinnock, Amenda, Thomas; Dasilva, Grimes, Onyeka, Van Ewijk; Mason-Clark, Rudoni, AwoniyiCoventry substitutes: Bentley, Sakamoto, Yirenkyi, Mfuni, Tchaouna, Thomas-Asante, Torp, Hamer, CherifBRIGHTON TEAM NEWSHurzeler named the same team that drew with Leeds.
