Everton host Coventry City in a league game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts sit 7th and want to climb into the upper group, while the visitors are 16th and need points to pull as far away from the bottom zone as possible. Everton won 1-0 in their most recent league match, following two straight 0-2 defeats. Overall form is still not settled, but at home in the first half they have not conceded at all in 6 matches. Coventry City also won 3-1 in their most recent league match, but overall this season they have conceded as many as 16 goals in 9 matches, and away from home in the first half they often trail. This game is likely to see the hosts dominate possession and push higher up, while Coventry City prefer to wait and counter. If Everton score first the game should open up more and flow toward the hosts, but if the visitors take the lead first Everton will have to push forward and risk being caught on the counter more.
