Preview

Coventry's return to the Premier League has been an extremely miserable one, with zero points and zero goals from their first three games leaving them at the foot of the table.

Frank Lampard's side showed signs of promise in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, and a similar performance here against far weaker opposition could see the Sky Blues finally get up and running.

Brighton have been unable to build on their stunning demolition of Aston Villa on the opening day, with just one point to show since from their games against Chelsea and Leeds.

The Seagulls will be desperate to improve an away record which has seen them win just three times in the Premier League since last December.
