Villa, Spurs, Coventry Seek First EPL Goals in 2026/27

As of Matchday 4 in the 2026/27 Premier League season, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and newly promoted Coventry City are still searching for their first goal. Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, has had a particularly troubling start, with a 4-0 loss to Brighton, a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, and a 0-0 draw against Hull City, leaving them with just one point and no goals.

Their attacking struggles are highlighted by only one shot on target in three matches, the lowest since the 2003-04 season. Villa's next match is against Nottingham Forest on September 12.

Tottenham, under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, has also struggled, starting with a 0-0 draw against Brentford, a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United, and another 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. They have two points and face Everton on September 12, where a goal could alleviate some pressure.

Coventry's situation is less detailed but noted as needing context.
