Coventry - Brighton

Coventry City return to the Coventry Building Society Arena on 13 September 2026 to face Brighton & Hove Albion in a Premier League matchday 4 encounter. The hosts are looking to find their rhythm after a difficult start to the campaign, having suffered consecutive league defeats against Arsenal, Hull City, and Manchester City. With Taiwo Awoniyi expected to lead the line, Coventry will aim to rediscover the attacking spark that saw them score four goals against Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Cup late last month.

Brighton & Hove Albion arrive with a more varied recent record, including a high-scoring 4-3 loss to Chelsea and a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. The visitors have shown significant offensive threat, notably in their 4-0 victory over Aston Villa. With Pascal Gross expected to anchor the midfield, Brighton will look to exploit any defensive lapses from a Coventry side still searching for their first league points of the season.
