Coventry City are the only unbeaten team left in the top four leagues in England and look imperious at the top of the Championship table.<\/p>\n

Frank Lampard’s side have scored 27 goals this season, which is at least 12 more than any other in the second tier. They also look rock solid at the back, with only two sides in the league conceding more than their total of seven.<\/p>\n

There were four draws in their opening six games, but in the last three before the international break they put three past Birmingham, four past Millwall and five past Sheffield Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Beaten in last season’s play-off semi-finals, the Sky Blues are looking like automatic-promotion contenders in the early stages of this campaign.<\/p>\n

‘They’ve started the season like a house on fire’<\/h3>\n

“The amount of goals they’ve scored, and the type of goals they’re scoring, really stand out,” former Huddersfield, Stoke and Middlesbrough defender Tommy Smith told the Sky Sports Essential EFL podcast<\/em>. “One key thing for me is the different players contributing. It’s one thing to score goals, but to share them around so well, like they are doing, is impressive.<\/p>\n

Look at the goal scorers: Haji Wright’s got eight already, Victor Torp’s got five, and others are chipping in too. The attacking talent they’ve got and the variety they can use is remarkable. You think of Simms, Sakamoto, Thomas-Asante – they’ve got options everywhere.<\/p>\n

“They’ve started the season like a house on fire. They’re putting teams to bed with fours and fives, and that’s a great sign. Frank Lampard and every Coventry fan will be hoping that continues.”<\/p>\n

Highlights from Sheffield Wednesday against Coventry in the Sky Bet Championship.<\/span>

Lampard took over Coventry when they were in 17th place nearly a year ago, and led them to a top-six finish. In the play-offs they were edged out in the semi-finals by a last-minute Sunderland goal.<\/p>\n

Rather than rest on their laurels, they have kicked on again with a squad very similar to last season’s campaign.<\/p>\n
