Coventry City vs Hull City team news and expert analysis
The Coventry-based club were relegated from the Premier League at the beginning of the century after a long spell in the top flight and were unable to return from the Championship for more than two decades. But Lampard succeeded at the second attempt, winning the division in convincing fashion. Finally back in the top flight, they immediately faced the champions, Arsenal. As expected, they suffered a 0-3 defeat.
The Hull-based side, widely regarded as a "yo-yo club", have frankly become stuck in the Championship in recent years and even dropped into League One. They only managed to finish sixth last season. However, they subsequently won the playoffs, although it is impossible to know what would have happened had Southampton not been disqualified. The newcomers opened their campaign against Manchester United and sensationally defeated one of the league giants by a convincing 2-0 scoreline.
The Championship winners averaged 2.11 goals per game while conceding just 0.98. Their fellow promoted side had more modest figures, scoring 1.49 goals and conceding 1.35 per match.
