📋 Team News: Everton

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Jean-Philippe Gbamin (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out.

🗞️ Team News: Manchester City

Man City manager Pep Guardiola has to choose a team with limited availability. Nathan Aké (Hamstring Injury), Fernandinho (Knock), Philippe Sandler (Knee Surgery), Kevin De Bruyne (Hamstring Injury) and Scott Carson (Virus Infection) are not ready for selection.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Everton should be able to breach the defence of this Manchester City lineup, although just one goal might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We can see a 1-2 winning score for Manchester City when the full-time whistle blows. It should be a decent one.
