David Moyes side have also drawn four times and have only lost twice in the Premier League this season. The Toffees have also scored nine goals and have conceded nine times, which represents the joint-fourth least number in the entire league.

Super Eagles forward Taiwo Awoniyi grabbed his first Premier League goal for Coventry in the win over Sunderland last weekend and will be targeting another goalscoring outing in this encounter. Awoniyi’s holdup play and physicality could cause problems for Everton in the clash.
