Premier League, Regular season, Matchday 9. Kick-off Saturday 31 October, 15:00 UK time, at Coventry Building Society Arena, Coventry.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Passing on Coventry City v Sunderland. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Coventry City are in trouble, and not only on results. Coventry City have been out-created in six of their last ten games. As for the other side, Sunderland are happy without the ball: in two of the four games they had less of it, they still made the better chances. And they have scored only 11 in their last ten from chances that would usually bring about 18. The goals are coming. Until Coventry City sort that out, they are there to be got at.
