Lampard’s City to Progress

Coventry kicked off their Championship season with a home draw against Hull City. Frank Lampard’s men were the clear favourites going into the match, but the Sky Blues were held by the Tigers’ stubborn defence.

Luton, who were relegated last term, have started life in EFL League One with two wins. After edging past Wimbledon at Kenilworth Road, the Hatters won 2-0 at Peterborough United last weekend.

Both teams are looking for promotion this season. Coventry reached the Championship play-offs last term, losing in the semi-finals to Sunderland. Lampard’s boys should be in the mix again this year.

After suffering back-to-back relegations, Luton want an instant return to the Championship. They were the pre-season title favourites, and six points from a possible six has strengthened that claim.

Luton may be plying their trade in the league below, but they could be tricky customers for Coventry in this cup game. Nevertheless, City are the favourites, available at 1.92 to win in normal time.
