Thierno Barry is our pick to lead Everton’s attack against Coventry, with Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl supporting Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall behind him.

Everton vs Coventry takes place at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday 6 November 2026, with kick-off at 8pm GMT.

These are predicted line-ups, not confirmed team sheets. The selections below are our assessment of the available team news.

Everton predicted XI

4-2-3-1: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Armstrong, Garner; Rohl, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry.

Branthwaite’s inclusion is conditional on the fitness check described in Moyes’s latest update. Grealish is unavailable.

Coventry predicted XI

4-2-3-1: Rushworth; Van Ewijk, Mfuni, Pinnock, Dasilva; Yirenkyi, Torp; Sakamoto, Rudoni, Gboho; Awoniyi.

These selections broadly follow the available pre-match team news. Coventry’s late checks could change the defensive and midfield choices. Awoniyi gives the visitors a central target, with Rudoni positioned to collect second balls.
