Premier League opening weekend predictions: Chris Sutton v singer Tom Grennan

Grennan's new album, Everywhere I Went Led Me to Where I Didn't Want to Be, is out on Friday. His previous two albums both reached number one in the UK.

He kicks off his autumn UK and Ireland arena tour with a special "intimate" gig for fans in an exhibition hall at Coventry City's stadium at the end of August.

He is a passionate Sky Blues supporter and is hoping they can maintain their remarkable momentum from last season and return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001.

Coventry were 17th in the Championship when Frank Lampard took charge in November but ended up finishing fifth, only losing their play-off semi-final to Sunderland in stoppage time of extra time.

"I went to as many games as I could, including the play-offs - and unfortunately that one did not go our way," Grennan told BBC Sport. "It was a nutty few months to be a Sky Blues fan but that is the Championship, isn't it?

"The aim now is to pick up where we left off and win promotion. It will be a hard slog and things can change in an instant, but I definitely think we can do it.

"Frank understands the Championship and knows the kind of players we need. We've got some great players in the squad and hopefully they can carry on with the same winning mentality they had at the end of last season."

Chris Sutton and Tom Grennan were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
