Everton host newly promoted Coventry on Friday at 20:00. Form, injuries, head-to-head and key numbers to weigh up before kick-off.

Everton host Coventry at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday 6 November, kick-off 20:00 UK time. Everton sit 7th with 13 points, while newly promoted Coventry are 16th on 9 points with a goal difference of minus 7.

Team news is provisional, as line-ups are normally released about 30 minutes before kick-off. Here is what the data and the latest reports say.

Everton form and league position

Everton's last five league results read WWLLD, most recent first, and their last 10 in all competitions include a 1-0 win at Newcastle and a 3-1 League Cup win over the same opponents. At home they have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four league games, scoring 1.3 and conceding 1.0 per game.

Thierno Barry has eight goals in 12 appearances and is the main attacking threat, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on two goals and two assists. Over the last 12 months in the competitions we track, Everton's home games have seen both teams score in 52% of matches and over 2.5 goals in 48%.

Coventry form and away record

Coventry's last five league results are WLLWW, and they have won three of their last five, including a 3-1 home win over Sunderland and a 4-1 win over Newcastle. Away from home, however, they have won one and lost three in the league this season, scoring just 0.5 per game while conceding 1.8.

Across the last 12 months, Coventry's away games have produced over 2.5 goals in 50% of matches, and they have failed to score in 23%. This season they have failed to score in five of nine league games, so finding goals on the road is the clear question.

Team news and head-to-head

Coventry have several absences. Aurele Amenda is out, Haji Wright has no return date and Luke Woolfenden and Josh Eccles remain out according to the reports. Bobby Thomas is a late fitness test, with Stephen Mfuni the likely replacement if he misses out.

For Everton, Jack Grealish is not yet match fit after a breach of club discipline, and Tyrique George was forced off with a knock at Newcastle. Both are listed as doubts. Jarrad Branthwaite had cramp after returning from concussion protocol. The only recent meeting was a 3-0 Coventry win on 30 July 2024, which tells us little about this fixture given how much has changed since.
