Frank Lampard is enduring a disastrous return to the Premier League, as his Coventry City side suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. The Sky Blues remain rooted to the bottom of the table without a single point or goal after four matches, marking a catastrophic start to the campaign for the newly promoted team.

Leeds United have been rocked by the news that cornerstone defender Joe Rodon is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines following a serious injury blow. The Wales international is facing at least two months out of action after limping out of the club's recent Premier League fixture against Brentford.

Celebrations of a major trophy win have never been enjoyed on the south coast, but the intention is to make history in the not too distant future.
