Neither of these two sides have made a good start to their pre-season friendlies but we are expecting a close and competitive 90 minutes at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday night.
Everton will be hoping to welcome back a few of their previously injured and international players who have been given an extended rest in the early stages of pre-season, while the Coventry fans will be excited to see their side back at home following three away games against Getafe, Stevenage and Darmstadt.

Coventry preview: Ellis Simms out to impress against former employers
Coventry have won one, drawn one and lost one so far in pre-season, failing to score in two of those matches.
Ellis Simms joined the Sky Blues last season on a permanent deal from Everton and scored an impressive 19 goals in 53 games across all competitions.
The young forward will be hoping to get one over on his former club on Tuesday night but is sure to get a warm welcome from the travelling Toffees.

Everton preview: The Toffees could give a debut to Jesper Lindstrøm
Everton are yet to win a game in pre-season, drawing with Sligo Rovers and losing against Salford City but the summer has seen the Toffees improve their squad.
Iliman Ndiaye, Tim Iroegbunam and now Jesper Lindstrom have all come into the team to provide more competition in midfield and across the frontline.
Lindstrom, who arrived on loan from Napoli, is a Danish international that has pace and can score goals as well as providing assists, something that Everton were crying out for last season.
Predicted lineup: Virginia (GK), Young, Holgate, Keane, Coleman, Garner, Iroegbunam, Doucoure, Harrison, McNeil & Chermiti

Player to watch – Jesper Lindstrøm
Everton's latest summer signing will be hoping to play some part against Coventry on Tuesday night but is unlikely to start the game.
The 24-year-old made his name at Brondby before being signed by Bundesliga side Frankfurt where he continued to score and create goals.
Everton fans will be excited to see their latest recruit make his debut
However, a move to Napoli last summer has failed to work out with the Dnaish international only starting twice in Serie A. The Everton fans will be excited by their new singing who offers a lot of what they have been crying out for this summer, pace, goals and creativity with the ability to play in a number of positions.
