Coventry City boss Frank Lampard has made an honest admission about the challenge that lies ahead of his side as they travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night.A couple of weeks ago, Spurs may have relished the prospect of playing Coventry City at home, given that the Lilywhites are still looking for that elusive first league win of the season.However, the newly promoted club have now won two games back-to-back and climbed up the Premier League table.Not only did they emerge with a clean sheet and a win from the City Ground ahead of the international break, but Coventry followed that up by demolishing Newcastle at home last week.The 4-1 win over the Magpies was a warning shot to Roberto De Zerbi’s side, with the game suddenly not looking as easy on paper as it did previously.

We worry about ourselves and the start we had on paper to where we’ve got to with these two wins makes us feel good, so it’s not the time for comparison.”When asked what he expects from Spurs, the Chelsea legend said: “As [we’re] a promoted side, I’m sure they’ll have a feeling of confidence against us. That’s fine. We have to believe in ourselves and go there with our own confidence and play with the same purpose we did against Newcastle.” Position Team Played MP Won W Drawn D Lost L For GF Against GA Diff GD Points Pts 14 CoventryCoventry6 2 0 4 5 11 -6 6 15 Nottingham ForestNottingham Forest6 1 2 3 5 8 -3 5 16 Aston VillaAston Villa6 1 2 3 6 11 -5 5 17 SunderlandSunderland6 1 1 4 6 12 -6 4 18 BournemouthBournemouth6 0 3 3 7 13 -6 3 19 TottenhamTottenham6 0 3 3 3 9 -6 3 20 FulhamFulham6 0 2 4 6 10 -4 2 Alan Shearer gives relegation warning to Spurs ahead of Coventry clashWhile the nature of Tottenham’s comeback against Man Utd has created a sense of optimism surrounding the Lilywhites, things can change very quickly.That was the warning given to De Zerbi by Alan Shearer, who believes Spurs will be in another relegation battle if they cannot beat Coventry.The Newcastle legend said: “I know they did really well when down to 10 men, coming back and getting a Solanke goal. So, that in itself will give them a bit of confidence, but they need a win massively.“If they don’t beat Coventry on Monday, then I think they’ll be in a massive relegation battle, and I think that’s how big a game it is.”READ MORE: Every Tottenham top scorer from 10 years of Premier League shows a worrying declineThe post ‘When I look at them play’ – Frank Lampard reveals honest thoughts on Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
