Fulham take on Coventry in their latest Premier League clash but how have the Sky Blues fared?
For the first time this season, Fulham head into a Premier League clash off the back of a victory last time out.
That 1-0 win, of course, came against Hull, and now all eyes turn to their next clash, against Coventry on Saturday afternoon.
It is another massive Premier League encounter for Fulham, with the Cottagers sitting in 18th and the Sky Blues in 17th - so, despite being so early in the season, it already has the early feeling of a relegation six-pointer.
But how have Fulham’s next opponents fared thus far this season?
It was a hugely challenging start to the season for Coventry, who had the challenge of facing champions Arsenal first up.
That was a particularly one-sided afternoon, with the Gunners easing to a 3-0 win, courtesy of goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
Perhaps it was the following week that Coventry will be disappointed with, slipping to a 1-0 home defeat to fellow newly promoted side Hull.
Gameweek three saw Coventry had a bit more about them than the previous two gameweeks had shown, with Coventry narrowly coming out on the wrong side of a 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Frank Lampard’s side did then suffer a 5-0 battering at the hands of free-scoring Brighton the following week which would have sent alarm bells ringing.
At this stage Coventry had played four, lost four, conceded 10 and scored none - hardly the ideal start to life back in the Premier League.
It seemed as though Coventry were heading for 20th place and immediate relegation back to the Championship.
Nobody gave them a chance when they travelled to Nottingham Forest, but Jay Dasilva’s goal early in the second half saw the Sky Blues to their first Premier League win of the season, and a first clean sheet.
Coventry then hosted Newcastle in the match immediately after the international break, and they put on an absolute show for their adoring home fans.
The Sky Blues stunned the Magpies, easing to a 4-1 win as Coventry celebrated a first home Premier League win in 25 years.
They took on winless Tottenham next and after falling behind to a James Maddison screamer, they bounced back through Jack Rudoni in the second half.
But two goalkeeping errors from Carl Rushworth saw Omar Marmoush and Ben Davies score for Spurs, which saw Coventry subjected to their fifth defeat, the joint-most in the Premier League alongside bottom-of-the-table Sunderland.
Only Crystal Palace (17) have conceded more goals than Coventry (14) and only Nottingham Forest (5) have scored fewer than the Sky Blues’ six.
But in recent weeks they have shown that they are getting acclimatised to Premier League action.
Fulham will need to be at their best to secure consecutive wins.
