Struggling champions kick off the Boxing Day action
The beleaguered Premier League champions kick off Boxing Day with another tricky looking festive test. A 2-1 loss at Aston Villa last time out made it one win in eight in the Premier League, and one win in 12 across all competitions, to surely rule out a fifth title on the trot for Pep Guardiola & Co.
Everton, meanwhile, have taken points off both Arsenal and Chelsea in their previous two league outings, two teams with legitimate chances of winning the league, and now make the short trip down the M62 looking to go unbeaten across a period most would have expected them to come away from empty handed.
City could be without both Ederson and John Stones this lunchtime, while Toffees captain Seamus Coleman is due a rare runout after Ashley Young picked up a timely yellow card to be suspended for this game. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blo.
