Everton will be looking to pick up a valuable three points when they face Coventry City on 6 November.
The Toffees are facing up against former manager Frank Lampard, who will still have plenty of fans in L3 after he helped save the Blues from relegation.
Lampard is now back in the relegation battle with Coventry, and he will be just as desperate to get three points.
Everton will know the importance of avoiding another setback as they look to build momentum heading into the busy festive period.
With aspirations of qualifying for Europe on the mind in Merseyside.
Now, the supercomputer has shared its prediction ahead of this fixture, which has waited quite some time to be played.
What has the supercomputer predicted for Everton vs Coventry City?
Everton's last game against Coventry City in any competition came back in 2001 - 25 years ago.
On that occasion, the Toffees picked up a 3-1 win away from home.
When it comes to their last home fixture, they were on the back of a defeat, with the Sky Blues winning 2-1.
Now, in 2026, they will want to avenge that defeat after a long-awaited period.
According to the Opta supercomputer, Everton have been awarded as the heavy favourites.
David Moyes' side have been given a 55 per cent chance of winning, with Coventry handed just 21 per cent.
The odds of a draw are slightly higher than the Sky Blues' odds of victory, coming in at 22 per cent.
However, while Everton may be favourites, Moyes will not want his side to be complacent.
Where could Everton cause the most damage against Coventry?
Moyes will have analysed his opponents, and he is likely to have come to the conclusion that attacking through open play is the way to go.
If there is one thing Lampard has excelled at the Coventry Building Society Arena, it is the ability to defend set-pieces.
As per FotMob, the newly promoted side has only conceded one set-piece this season in the Premier League.
That is particularly important as the Toffees are third for set-pieces scored, showing that it is one of their top strengths.
So, this game could end up being the unstoppable force meets the impenetrable object.
And that may mean Moyes seeks a more direct approach to Everton's forward play.
