Tottenham’s search for a first win of the 2026-27 Premier League continues on the upcoming Monday Night Football as resurgent Coventry visit North London.
Before a ball was kicked this season, few would have predicted that Coventry would be the higher of the two teams in the table ahead of this contest – especially after Spurs’ lavish summer of spending!
But that is the situation here, one which does not reflect very well on under-fire manager Roberto De Zerbi.
And failure to beat Frank Lampard’s Coventry would heap almost unbearable amounts of pressure on the shoulders of the fiery Italian.
So this has all the makings of some Monday night madness at the fabulous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and our full betting online preview is available to view below.
Of course, our picks feature the latest Premier League odds from NetBet Sport, while the Bet Builder feature is ready to be activated for this game.

Tottenham vs Coventry Preview
Recent results
Tottenham collected a credible 1-1 draw at Manchester United last Saturday thanks to Dominic Solanke’s stoppage-time equaliser, a result made more impressive by the fact De Zerbi’s side played for quite a while with 10 men following Rodrigo Bentancur’s red card. Spurs’ previous home top-flight matches in 2026-27 saw them lose 2-0 to Newcastle, draw 0-0 with Everton and suffer a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa.
After four consecutive losses without scoring a goal, Coventry have won back-to-back games in the Premier League. The Sky Blues beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 away from home just prior to the international break, and then recorded a huge 4-1 success over Newcastle on Monday evening.
Head-to-head record
Tottenham and Coventry last met in the 2024-25 EFL Cup, with Spurs claiming a 2-1 victory.
The North Londoners won seven of the last eight editions of this fixture across all competitions, though it is a run which stretches back to September 1999 – highlighting how little these sides have played in the 21st century.
Team news
Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Mykhailo Mudryk remain the long-term absentees for Spurs, while Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro are strong doubts. Bentancur is, of course, suspended after his reckless red card at Old Trafford.
Speaking of suspensions, Coventry can welcome Taiwo Awoniyi back into the fold after his own red-card ban, a big boost for Lampard. Aurele Amenda, Haji Wright, Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden are on the Sky Blues’ treatment table, with Kaine Kesler-Hayden a doubt.
Tottenham vs Coventry Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Tottenham vs Coventry Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.71
Coventry looked pretty sharp in attack against Newcastle, while Spurs’ defence is certainly a work in progress. De Zerbi’s men conceded in each of the last three, while also scoring themselves after a long run of blanks. With all that in mind, BTTS at a healthy price looks like a great avenue to go down.
Tottenham to win and both teams to score – Yes @ 2.80
And combining BTTS with a Spurs victory – the most likely outcome – churns out some decent odds. Coventry can make this a real contest, but the home side’s additional quality and resources should see them claim a first top-flight home win of the campaign.
Anytime goalscorer – Dominic Solanke @ 2.23
Solanke scored his first goal of the season against Man Utd, and now is the time for the clearly-talented striker to kick on under De Zerbi. Omar Marmoush is not an out-and-out centre forward, while Richarlison is in football exile. So the No9 spot is Solanke’s to claim, and a goal against Coventry would be magnificent from his standpoint. At better than evens, it may be worth backing him given this pre-match context.
