Championship winners Coventry City are in the Premier League for the first time in a quarter of a century, but it has been a baptism of fire for Frank Lampard's side.
The Sky Blues failed to score in their opening four games before a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest and they could be up against it when Newcastle United visit their Midlands base on Monday.
The Magpies fell to a 4-1 loss to Leeds United in their most recent Premier League away game, but a 2-1 victory over Hull City got them back on track and they can see off another promoted outfit.

Coventry City v Newcastle United Prediction
Best Bet: Newcastle United to win @ 6/5
Newcastle have lost four of their last six Premier League away games, but a trip to Coventry looks like just the ticket to erase the memories of a 4-1 defeat at Leeds the last time they were on the road.
The Magpies did claim a 2-0 success at Tottenham and this looks a good opportunity to put one over another early-season struggler.
After storming to the Championship title last season, City have found the going tough back in the top-flight.
There will be a degree of optimism after Jay Dasilva's goal gave them a 1-0 win at Forest, but they were brushed aside 5-0 the last time they were in league action at home against Brighton.
They subsequently lost 3-1 to Aston Villa at the CBS Arena in the EFL Cup, so it is difficult to fancy their chances.
Alternative Bet: Joe Willock to score at any time @ 9/2
No Newcastle player has had as many efforts on goal as Joe Willock, who has tried his luck 18 times in seven league and cup appearances.
He scored the opener after just three minutes of his last outing against Hull and he was also on target when the Magpies drew 2-2 with Liverpool on the opening weekend of the campaign.
Add to that the winner in the EFL Cup tie against Championship Millwall and he has already scored three times as many goals as he notched in the whole of last season, and there is no reason to suggest he will ease up just yet.
Coventry City v Newcastle United Bet Builder Tip
Over 1 Newcastle goal
Bobby Thomas 1+ shot
Caleb Yirenkyi to be booked
Pays 6/1
There have been just three occasions in Newcastle's last nine league games when they have failed to score at least twice and there looks like a strong chance they will improve upon that statistic against the new boys on Monday.
Coventry defender Bobby Thomas has had 10 attempts on goal this season, including five in the 1-0 defeat at Manchester City and three against Brighton, so he can register an effort for the fifth match out of six.
Lampard made a move in the transfer market to sign midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi from Danish side Nordsjaelland and it has taken the Ghana international time to get used to life in the Premier League.
He was booked on his debut against Arsenal and committed six fouls in the EFL Cup against Villa and then five in the victory at the City Ground, so another yellow card could be in the offing.
