Everton vs Coventry City takes place on Friday 6 November 2026 at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT (UTC). The Premier League meeting brings Frank Lampard back to face his former club and renews a top-flight fixture last played in January 2001.
David Moyes’s Everton enter the match seventh in the table after consecutive victories over Newcastle United in the League Cup and Premier League. Promoted Coventry City, coached by Lampard, are 16th after beating Sunderland 3–1. The match is an opportunity for both clubs to build on those results before the November international break.

Everton vs Coventry City head-to-head record
Everton and Coventry City have met 18 times in the Premier League era before this fixture. Coventry won six of those matches, Everton three and nine ended in draws. Their most recent top-flight meeting was Everton’s 3–1 away victory on 20 January 2001.
| Previous meeting | Result |
| 20 January 2001 | Coventry City 1–3 Everton |
| 26 December 2000 | Everton 1–2 Coventry City |
| 15 March 2000 | Coventry City 1–0 Everton |

Premier League form and standings
Everton begin this match seventh with 13 points from nine league matches. Coventry have nine points from nine games and stand 16th. These figures are a pre-match snapshot, not a live table.
Everton’s latest league result was a 1–0 win away to Newcastle United on 2 November. Coventry beat Sunderland 3–1 on 31 October after losing to Tottenham and Fulham. Those results offer a more useful comparison than assuming either side has carried pre-season form into November.
Everton team news: Grealish out and Branthwaite assessed
Everton manager David Moyes confirmed on 5 November that Jack Grealish would not be available against Coventry. Jarrad Branthwaite was being assessed after leaving the Newcastle win with cramp; Moyes was hopeful he would recover in time. The final starting XI had not been confirmed at the time of this pre-match update.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has impressed in Everton’s recent matches, while forward Thierno Barry scored in both Newcastle victories. Their recent contributions give Everton a clearer attacking storyline than a generic emphasis on midfield control.
Coventry City team news and Frank Lampard’s return
Coventry will be without Aurele Amenda, Haji Wright, Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden, according to Everton’s official pre-match opposition update. Bobby Thomas and Frank Onyeka faced late fitness checks. Any starting-lineup claims should await the official team announcement.
Frank Lampard’s return provides a distinctive subplot. The Coventry manager previously led Everton and left in January 2023. This is his first visit in the opposition dugout since that departure.

Key storylines before kick-off
Everton’s recent wins over Newcastle have restored momentum after defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea in October. The central question is whether their improved results carry into a home league game against a promoted opponent.
Coventry have recovered from losing their opening four Premier League matches. Their 3–1 victory over Sunderland followed a 4–1 win against Newcastle in October, suggesting that Lampard’s side can create chances, even though consistency remains an issue. The availability of several Coventry defenders could also shape the final selection.
