## Key points

- A win at Everton could strengthen Coventry’s survival prospects.
- All 21 teams with 12 points after 10 matches survived in the past decade.
- Coventry’s resources and underlying performances remain concerns.

## Summary

Coventry can move closer to Premier League survival with a win at Everton on Friday, despite having 28 matches left. A victory would put Frank Lampard’s side in a historically strong position: recent teams with similar early points totals have generally avoided relegation.

Coventry have nine points from nine matches; of the eight teams in that position over the previous decade, seven stayed up. All 21 clubs with 12 points after 10 matches in that period survived, and eight finished in the top half. Coventry have the division’s lowest estimated wage bill and third-lowest squad value, while their underlying performances need to improve despite recent wins over Sunderland and Newcastle.
