Deciding factors · 03

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

  1. Home advantage

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Coventry. It closes the gap but does not erase Man City's extra quality.

    EdgeEven

  2. Expected goals

    2.9 expected goals is above the league norm, and over 2.5 lands 55% of the time in our simulations.

    EdgeGoals

  3. Quality gap

    Man City rate clearly stronger and the draw is only 22%. If they score first, the game should follow.

Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home · promoted

Coventry City

Coventry are newly promoted and still getting used to the speed of the top flight. Look for a deep, compact block at Coventry Building Society Arena, long periods without the ball and most of their danger from set pieces.

Away

Manchester City

Man City are set up to control the ball. They should own most of the possession on the road at Coventry Building Society Arena and keep Coventry penned in for long stretches.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Man City field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Coventry score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
