Tottenham vs Coventry Prediction & Preview - Premier League

·4 min read·By

Tottenham vs Coventry prediction, team news and form for Monday's Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, kick-off 20:00 BST.

Tottenham Hotspur have not won in their last six and Coventry City have just put four past Newcastle United, and that is what makes Monday night's Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium harder to read than the two names on the team sheet. One side is drawing games it used to win. The other is either very good or very bad, depending which week you look at.

What time is kick-off for Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City kicks off at 20:00 BST on Monday, 19 October 2026 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London, in the Premier League.

Tottenham's six games without a win

In their last six, Tottenham have won 0, drawn 3 and lost 3, taking 3 points from scoring 4 goals and conceding 9. The scoring is the problem. They have managed two or more goals in only 1 of those 6 games and failed to score in 3 of them.

The most recent outing was a 1-1 draw away to Manchester United, 9 days before this match, and that is the better end of the run. Behind it sit a 2-3 home defeat by Aston Villa, a 1-3 loss away to Liverpool in the EFL Cup, a 0-0 at home to Everton and a 0-2 home defeat by Newcastle United.

Home form offers nothing. Tottenham have won 0 of their last 3 at home, and two of those three finished without a Spurs goal. The defence has not been the whole story either: two clean sheets in six, but two or more conceded in 3 of 6.

Coventry City's 4-1 win over Newcastle, and the four defeats around it

Coventry beat Newcastle United 4-1 at home 7 days before this match, which was their second win in a run of six that also contains four defeats: won 2, drawn 0, lost 4, 6 points, scored 6 and conceded 11. There is no middle ground in that record at all.

The other win was a 1-0 at Nottingham Forest, 30 days before this game. The defeats include 0-5 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion and 0-1 at home to Hull City, so the Newcastle result is the outlier rather than the trend. Two or more goals in 1 of 6. Nothing scored in 3 of 6.

Travel has actually been kinder than home: Coventry have won 1 of their last 2 away, which is a better rate than the 1 in 4 they have managed in front of their own crowd.

Team news: Tottenham Hotspur

Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended after a 78th-minute red card at Manchester United, Pedro Porro is out with a hamstring problem and is not expected back until the Chelsea trip on 24 October, and Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Mykhailo Mudryk are all sidelined, The False 9 reports. The same page has James Maddison available for Roberto De Zerbi after a full week's training.

Team news: Coventry City

Frank Lampard is without Haji Wright, who has not played this season with a quad injury and is not expected back before November, and Aurèle Amenda, whose calf injury has been described as one of up to three months, according to RotoWire.

Milan van Ewijk is the one to watch. He missed the Forest win with a hamstring issue and is back in training, with Lampard hopeful he comes through the days before the game, while Kaine Kesler-Hayden has also resumed training and Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden remain further off, RotoWire says.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City prediction

Our call is a 1-1 draw between Tottenham Hotspur and Coventry City in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday, 19 October 2026. Tottenham have drawn 3 of their last 6 and have scored four goals in that time, which is not the profile of a side that puts a visiting team away early.

Coventry will carry something from the 4-1 against Newcastle, but a team that has conceded 11 in six and failed to score in three of them is not the side you expect to control a Monday night in north London. A goal each, and a point that neither manager wanted.

Our prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Coventry City
