Tottenham host Coventry City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday, October 19 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
Tottenham will again be without the injured Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Mykhailo Mudryk, plus the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur; the doubtful Dejan Kulusevski (knee) and Pedro Porro Sauceda (thigh) are touch-and-go for this one. Conor John Gallagher and Andrew Robertson look the key men in behind, both already off the mark for goals or assists this season. Coventry City travel without the injured Aurele Amenda, Haji Wright, Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden, and the suspended Taiwo Awoniyi, leaving Kaine Kesler-Hayden and Milan van Ewijk as thigh doubts; Jack Rudoni carries the creative threat, with Jay Dasilva offering end product from full-back.

Tottenham vs Coventry City Prediction
The Signal model sees this as a tight, low-scoring affair at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Tottenham’s 3 points from 6 games enough context for a side still searching for control rather than goals. Coventry City, with 6 points from the same 6 games, have shown they can trouble teams in bursts, but an identical -6 goal difference across both sides suggests neither care to engage in an open game. Our prediction: Tottenham 1-0 Coventry City.
