David Moyes looking frustrated towards Frank Lampard looking annoyed
A night under the lights at Hill Dickinson Stadium awaits as the Toffees go in search of a third win on the bounce in all competitions.
The second of two wins against Newcastle United came thanks to Thierno Barry last time out.
A 1-0 win moved David Moyes' side to seventh in the Premier League.
Now a meeting with Frank Lampard lies in wait for the first time competitively since his Goodison exit.
That makes for an interesting Merseyside clash as we assess the injury latest for both sides.
Everton waiting on Jarrad Branthwaite latest
There aren't many concerns for the L3 outfit right now, which is a blessing.
Jack Grealish faces an uncertain situation after a disciplinary issue at Finch Farm.
The only injury issue that the Blues are facing is that of Jarrad Branthwaite after he was forced off on 82 minutes against Newcastle.
Moyes revealed at full-time that the centre-back was "cramping in both legs" but didn't think it was "too serious".
Premier Injuries reports that he has a 75 per cent chance of featuring against Coventry as he continues to be assessed.
That would be a welcome boost ahead of a Hill Dickinson Stadium outing, but things aren't looking so ideal for Lampard and Co.
Coventry City face six issues before Everton clash
The Sky Blues are coming off the back of their third win since promotion to the Premier League.
A 3-1 win away to Sunderland was a welcome boost, especially with so many fitness woes.
Coventry could be without six at Hill Dickinson as Aurele Amenda, Haji Wright, Josh Eccels and Luke Woolfenden are all set to be absent.
There are current assessments underway for Frank Onyeka and Bobby Thomas with the latter dealing with an calf or Achilles problem.
The pair face a 50 per cent chance of featuring on Merseyside, with the centre-back a key asset for Lampard.
Stephen Mfuni and Ethan Pinnock started in his place last time around, but his return would certainly be welcomed.
That makes preparation more difficult for Moyes and Co. ahead of the imminent Premier League clash.
