Baptisms of fire: the fixture list has not been kind to Coventry, Hull and Ipswich

The Guardian Football about 2 hours 1 mins read

Tough start awaits for promoted trio, with Premier League matches against last season’s top three and European qualifiers

Coventry signed off their previous Premier League campaign with a match against Bradford City, the one team to finish below them in 2000-01. They pick up again in the top flight away to Arsenal; last season’s champions, favourites to retain the crown and the No 1 ranked side in the world according to Opta.

At least they will have played what should be the hardest fixture of their 38 first. Except that their next away trip takes them to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.
