Everton are due to host Coventry City at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Premier League round ten at 03:00 Vietnam time on 7 November, according to Bongda24h. Everton entered the round seventh, while Coventry had moved up to 16th after recovering from four opening defeats.
Everton carry momentum into home fixture
David Moyes' side had three wins, four draws and two losses from nine league matches when Bongda24h published its preview. The seventh-placed team was two points behind fifth-placed Liverpool. A 1-0 away win at Newcastle supplied Everton's latest league points, following a separate victory over the same club in the League Cup.
Those two results put Everton in a position to seek a third consecutive win in all competitions. They also provide a recent reference point for a side whose early league record contained almost as many draws as victories.
Coventry's recovery and the meeting ahead
Coventry lost their first four league games but won three of the next five, beating Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Sunderland. Their most recent result cited by Bongda24h was a 3-1 victory over Sunderland. Frank Lampard's team had nine points, three fewer than eighth-placed Bournemouth, before this round.
The same source records two Coventry wins in the teams' last three meetings. The most recent visit it cites to Everton's home ground ended 2-1 to Coventry in December 2000. After the international break, Everton are scheduled to face Brentford and Coventry to play Crystal Palace. The lineups and the players available for this fixture will be established closer to kickoff.
