Confirmed Line-Ups: Everton vs Manchester City (Premier League) | OneFootball

Manchester City face a tricky test away at Goodison Park as they take on Everton led by David Moyes in the first of their final six Premier League games of the season.

The four-in-a-row Premier League champions came from two goals behind to claim a stylish 5-2 win against Crystal Palace in their last league outing – with Kevin De Bruyne, Omar Marmoush, Mateo Kovacic, James McAtee and Nico O’Reilly on the scoresheet.

City have been in fine form of late as they look to secure qualification to next season’s UEFA Champions League after failing to mount a challenge for this season’s competition and struggling in their Premier League campaign.

Pep Guardiola’s men face a trip to Aston Villa in their next Premier League outing and there is little margin for error for the 54-year-old in his bid to lead Manchester City over the line into Europe’s premier club competition for the 2025-26 campaign.

After a narrow defeat away to local rivals Liverpool three weeks ago, Moyes and Everton have got their mojo back with four points out of a possible six from games against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City saw Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji return to full training this week whilst the quartet of Rodri, Erling Haaland, Nathan Ake and John Stones stay out of contention for the 2023 treble winners.

Ederson suffered an injury in City’s victory against Palace and Guardiola confirmed in a press conference on Friday the Brazilian will remain unavailable against Everton, which is likely to see Stefan Ortega Moreno come in for the 31-year-old.
