What they're saying

Brentford are aiming to maintain their unbeaten start against a Sunderland side with one win and one defeat so far. BBC Sport takes a look at the key themes ahead of their clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday (15:00 BST). It's been a promising start to the season for the Bees, who have a win and a draw from their first two matches and were a bit unlucky to be pegged back by Leeds last weekend.

Life back in the Premier League after 25 years away does not get any easier for Coventry City. Manchester City flexed their muscles last time out with a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace. After only just edging past Bournemouth in their first game, new head coach Enzo Maresca has enjoyed an encouraging start in the unenviable position of replacing Pep Guardiola.
