Everton vs Coventry City kicks off at 11:00 PM East Africa Time on Friday, 6 November 2026, at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. The Premier League Matchweek 10 fixture brings together David Moyes’s Everton and Frank Lampard’s promoted Coventry City, with team availability, recent form and their previous meetings adding context to the contest.
Everton vs Coventry City marks the clubs’ first competitive meeting since January 2001, when Everton won 3–1 away. Coventry’s return to the Premier League has renewed a fixture with a long top-flight history, although both sides arrive with very different priorities after nine league matches.
Everton vs Coventry City kick-off time and venue
The Premier League fixture is scheduled for Friday, 6 November 2026, with an 8:00 PM GMT kick-off—11:00 PM in Kenya. Everton will host the match at Hill Dickinson Stadium, their current home ground, rather than Goodison Park.
The game opens the league’s tenth matchweek. The schedule was moved from Saturday to Friday in the Premier League’s November broadcast changes.
Everton team news: Branthwaite fitness and Grealish absence
Everton manager David Moyes confirmed that Jack Grealish would not be available against Coventry, while defender Jarrad Branthwaite was undergoing checks after experiencing cramp in the 1–0 league win at Newcastle United on 2 November.
Moyes also highlighted Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s recent form. Everton came into the match after consecutive victories over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and Premier League, giving them momentum following a more difficult run.

Coventry City team news: Wright among confirmed absences
Coventry travel to Liverpool without Haji Wright, Aurele Amenda, Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden, according to Everton’s pre-match briefing. Bobby Thomas and Frank Onyeka face late fitness assessments.
Frank Lampard returns to face the club he previously managed. His Coventry team have recovered from an unsuccessful start to the season, winning three of their previous five Premier League matches ahead of this visit.

Everton vs Coventry current form and Premier League standings
Everton began Matchweek 10 in seventh place with 13 points from nine matches, while Coventry were 16th with nine points. Everton’s latest league match was a 1–0 win away to Newcastle; Coventry came in after a 3–1 victory over Sunderland.
Despite Coventry’s lower position, their recent recovery offers a more informative comparison than their early-season losing streak alone. Everton have been more difficult to score against, while Coventry’s recent attacking improvement makes this a useful test for both teams.

Everton vs Coventry head-to-head and previous results
The most recent competitive meeting between Everton and Coventry ended 3–1 to Everton at Highfield Road on 20 January 2001. Coventry had won the two preceding Premier League encounters, including a 2–1 away success at Goodison Park in December 2000.
Selected recent competitive meetings before November 2026:
| Date | Match | Final score |
| 20 Jan 2001 | Coventry City vs Everton | 1–3 |
| 26 Dec 2000 | Everton vs Coventry City | 1–2 |

The clubs also met in a July 2024 friendly, which Coventry won 3–0. That result is separate from their competitive Premier League record.
What to watch: Lampard’s return and Everton’s defensive form
The managerial storyline centres on Lampard’s return to Everton with Coventry. On the pitch, Everton’s recent defensive organisation and Coventry’s improvement after a difficult opening are the clearest evidence-led themes.
A second question is whether Coventry can maintain the attacking form that brought nine goals across their previous five league games. Everton, meanwhile, will look to carry forward the two wins over Newcastle without relying on a particular projected starting XI.
