Depends on the situation at the time of engine failure.
If the autopilot is engaged in level flight for example, then the control wheel will be displaced (turn) towards the "live" engine. If there is no rudder input to counteract yaw, then the autopilot will disconnect when the AFDS cannot cope.
Without an autopilot engaged, then the turn and slip indicator will show the pilot the sideslip. Boeing do not recommend trimming the rudder to completely get rid of the sideslip, as a "neutral" control column is desired which avoids inadvertent spoiler extension which causes increased drag and a reduction in lift.
