THE LAST TIME
City's last home game against Everton was on January 20th 2001 and saw a 3-1 home defeat for the Sky Blues. This was less than a month after City had won 2-1 at Goodison on Boxing Day.
City have played Everton in 80 matches, winning 23 and drawing 20.

TEAM NEWS
Chris Coleman is definitely without Curtis Wynter,David Bell, Elliott Ward and James McPake. Sammy Clingan should make his home debut after featuring against Dunfermline on Wednesday night and Marcus Hall should be back to play.
____________________________________________________
Well what can you say about Marcus Hall. Former pupil of Stoke Park School, former Coventry City Academy player with a liking for biscuits and former player who was allowed to play at Forest, Southampton and Stoke before rejoining the Sky Blues.


A steady player, either at left back or centre half, with an infectious sense of humour that is essential in any dressing room,I 'm delighted that Marcus has been awarded a testimonial match against the side he once scored against - Everton

I've had the pleasure of seeing him play in all of his 300 appearances for City and I'm sure he will give us another quality performance in his testimonial match.

So get your backsides up to the Ricoh Arena on Sunday and support a fellow Coventrian.
