Everton vs Coventry City live team news and match updates from the Hill Dickinson Stadium

Coventry City visit Everton in the Premier League for their first meeting since January 2001, marking Frank Lampard's return to his former club. Lampard previously managed Everton for 12 months between 2022 and 2023. Newly-promoted Coventry enter the match after winning three of their past five matches, including a recent 3-1 victory against Sunderland, while Everton head into the contest following a win over Newcastle United.

Coventry face potential squad absences, with Lampard possibly missing up to six players due to fitness concerns, including Bobby Thomas and Frank Onyeka. Everton sit four points and nine places ahead of Coventry in the standings ahead of the 8pm kick-off prior to the international break.
