Everton v Coventry City: Confirmed line-ups as Toffees eye top five

Everton will look to move into the top five of the Premier League with victory over Coventry City.

David Moyes’ men will be in confident mood after claiming back-to-back wins over Newcastle United, following up their EFL Cup success with a 1-0 league win at St James’ Park.

A win would see them at least temporarily go above rivals Liverpool and into the top five, while Coventry will be hoping to build on their 3-1 victory over Sunderland last time out.
