    Things have settled since that frantic burst of goals, with the last ten minutes much more even. Awoniyi had a header blocked from Rudoni's cross and Dibling fired wide for Everton after good work from Röhl, while George was flagged offside - but neither keeper has really been tested. Everton and Coventry are level on corners at 2-2, while Coventry have edged the shot count 12-11 overall, but the hosts have made their chances count to lead 2-1 as they seek to see out the win.

  35. 46'

    Quiet start to the second half at Hill Dickinson Stadium with the stats unchanged since the break - still goalless and still 0-0. Coventry carry their first-half momentum in terms of shots (8-4) but neither side has created anything notable yet in these opening minutes after the restart.

  36. 46'
    Save Yann Gboho (Coventry City) forces a save with a left-footed shot from outside the box, aimed at the centre of the goal by Jordan Pickford (Everton).

    Goalless at the break, and it's been a half of two distinct patterns. Everton started the brighter, dominating possession and shots in the opening quarter with efforts from Barry, Mykolenko and George, but Coventry grew into it from around the half-hour mark through Rudoni and Gboho before finishing the half as the stronger side. Rudoni shot narrowly wide and Torp forced a smart save from Pickford in the closing minutes, leaving Coventry leading 8-4 on shots and marginally on top overall despite Everton edging possession. Only a minute of stoppage time was added, and it's goalless at the interval at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

    Chance Jack Rudoni (Coventry City) shoots just wide left from outside the box.
  46. 38'

    Coventry have continued their upturn in form and now lead the shot count 6-4 after adding four more attempts in this spell. Sakamoto forced a good stop from Pickford, Dasilva and Torp both had efforts blocked, and Torp also fired wide earlier, with Everton restricted to defending crosses and blocks rather than threatening Rushworth themselves. Still goalless at the break approaches, but Coventry are now the side looking the more dangerous going forward.

    Foul By Tyrique George (Everton).

    Chance Victor Torp (Coventry City) shoots high and wide from outside the box.
  54. 28'

    Coventry have found a foothold in this last spell after a one-sided period for Everton. Rudoni headed wide from Dasilva's cross and Gboho fired just off target from range, their first shots of the game, while the game has become slightly scrappier with free kicks conceded by both sides. Everton still lead the shot count 4-2 and shade possession, but Coventry look more of a threat than they did ten minutes ago.

  62. 18'

    Everton have taken control since that last update, flipping the possession stats in their favour and racking up four shots to Coventry's none. Barry had a blocked effort from a tight angle, Mykolenko forced Rushworth into a save, and George also saw a shot blocked, before Everton won a corner from Torp's challenge. It's been one-way traffic in the final third, though Coventry are yet to really threaten at the other end.

    A quiet opening with neither side carving out a clear chance yet. Coventry have shaded possession so far and forced an early free kick when Dibling fouled Gboho, but the final ball has been lacking from both sides and the shot count remains blank at 0-0.
