Once homeless and in liquidation, Coventry seek 'fearless' PL return

The groundswell of excitement in the city of Coventry is palpable. Frank Lampard's side play their first Premier League game in over 25 years at the home of champions Arsenal on Friday night, live on Sky Sports. Only four months ago fans were lining the streets to celebrate the Championship title.

But a lot has changed, not least Lampard himself. The 48-year-old, who last managed in the top flight with Chelsea three years ago, has matured since two uneasy spells at Stamford Bridge, sandwiched between a season at Everton. His approach calmer and more level-headed.
