Arsenal
- Arsenal have won four, drawn one and lost one of their last six home games in all competitions.
- Arsenal have conceded 2.33 goals per game at home in all competitions so far this season.
- The Gunners have won only two of their last five, with a draw and two defeats making up the results.
Coventry City
- Coventry City have won four and drawn one of their last five matches.
- They have won two on the bounce coming into this and are unbeaten in ten in all competitions with six wins and four draws, so the momentum is definitely with Coventry City.
Coventry City
Ellis Simms is the Sky Blues' goal threat and has five goals in his last five appearances and 12 in total in an incredible burst of form that is a major factor in their lofty position.
Market
- Arsenal are the big favorites at 1.17 ahead of the visit of flying Coventry City.
- The Sky Blues are a decent live underdog at 6.6 and look capable of making the home side work for a win.
- Both teams not to score looks good at 1.5 with the Under 2.5 goals line at 2.35 also attractive.
Game outlook
- Mikel Arteta's Gunners remain the archetypal control team in world football with their hybrid 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system built around possession dominance, high-pressing and structured rotations.
- Coventry City have a transition-heavy style, mixing organised pressing with quick vertical breaks and direct forward carries.
- Coventry are likely to make it a cup-style game, which they are good at doing, but Arsenal can still edge it, particularly as they will be keen to get back to winning ways.
