Everton welcome Coventry City to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday night, looking to extend their winning run to three matches in all competitions.
The Toffees have enjoyed a promising start to the Premier League campaign and head into the contest sitting seventh in the table.
Everton, even with their extremely thin squad, are only two points behind Merseyside rivals Liverpool in fifth place.
Everton are also coming off back-to-back wins in the Premier League and EFL Cup. They should be confident ahead of their latest assignment.
However, Coventry arrive on Merseyside after a 3-1 victory and putting themselves on an upward trajectory. They will be determined to upset the hosts.
Match preview
Everton have collected three wins, four draws and two defeats from their opening nine Premier League matches.
The Toffees are in a promising position despite their inadequate summer transfer business.
Moyes will be eager to build on Monday’s 1-0 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park, which followed another win against the same opponents in the EFL Cup.
The Everton manager is expected to retain much of the side that delivered an impressive performance against the Magpies.
Consistency is important as the Toffees look to maintain their momentum.
Moyes is also set to reach another milestone, matching Harry Catterick’s record of 592 games in charge of Everton.
Meanwhile, Coventry have recovered from a difficult start to the campaign.
Frank Lampard’s side lost their opening four Premier League matches but have since beaten Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Sunderland during a more encouraging spell.
The Sky Blues sit 16th with nine points. Their recent results suggest they could pose a difficult challenge for Everton.
Coventry have also won two of their last three meetings with the Toffees, including a 2-1 victory at Goodison Park in December 2000.
Everton will therefore need to be at their best to secure another important three points.
Match stats
Everton have won 37 of their recorded meetings with Coventry, compared with 23 victories for the Sky Blues (20 draws).
However, the Toffees have won only one home Premier League match against Coventry, recording a 2-0 victory at Goodison Park in April 1999.
Coventry have lost just three of their 18 Premier League meetings with Everton, despite the Merseyside club holding the stronger overall head-to-head record.
Everton team news
Jack Grealish remains unavailable for Everton after missing the club’s previous two matches because of a disciplinary issue.
Moyes confirmed that the on-loan Manchester City attacker will not feature against Coventry.
Jarrad Branthwaite is the main fitness concern after being withdrawn late in their last game.
The defender was suffering from cramps, and Moyes hopes he will recover in time to feature.
Rumours suggest the 24-year-old English centre-half is fit and he could pass a late fitness test.
Everton could otherwise name an unchanged starting XI following their impressive last outing.
Everton predicted XI (4-2-3-1)
Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Armstrong, Garner; Rohl, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry.
