    GOAL: Coventry 0-1 Bournemouth

    Jefferson Lerma

    Just moments after Dominic Solanke goes close to getting a strike away for Bournemouth, the visitors win the ball back as Coventry sheepishly clear their lines.

    Jefferson Lerma picks the ball back up and unleashes a strike from outside the box which has Sky Blues keeper Marko Marosi well beaten.

    That's Lerma's second goal of the campaign.

  2. Coventry 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth are controlling the passing as they look to gain a foothold in this game.

    Jefferson Lerma does well to shrug off his marker as the Cherries march upfield.

    It's still bucketing it down in Birmingham. Feeling pretty smug that I'm inside, warm and dry.

  3. Coventry 0-0 Bournemouth

    Speaking of the rain, the pitch this evening is very slick indeed, as is no surprise.

    In these early stages, some of the players look a bit light on their feet.

    A cagey opening few minutes, driven by the conditions if nothing else.

  4. KICK-OFF

    Coventry 0-0 Bournemouth

    We are under way at a rainy St Andrew's. The weather really is appalling today.

    How important will that be this evening? Brace yourself for a wet and wild 90 minutes.

    I've got food on the brain and my girlfriend and I are seriously considering a half-time takeaway despite the fact we've not long had our dinner.

    So, with that in mind, we would like to know your food-based footballers.

    We'll sort your Massimo Maccarones from your Charlie Edams as we look to stave off our hunger.

    Coventry v Bournemouth (19:45 BST)

    Much as I would like to mope around in my pyjamas watching Jamie's 15 Minute Meals all day, there is work to be done.

    Specifically tonight's work involves Coventry taking on Bournemouth with both sides looking to maintain what have been decent starts to the new Championship campaign.

    But what's on the menu tonight? Are the Sky Blues going to make it two wins from four or are Bournemouth going to maintain their unbeaten start?

    I can't wait to see what's served up. Set your timer for 15 minutes.
