Man City roll into Goodison Park needing three points to stay comfortable in the Premier League top-five, but it won’t be a stroll. Last time out, Everton parked the bus and nicked a draw at the Etihad.
The Citizens are feeling the heat, having drawn blanks in their last two away fixtures. Kevin De Bruyne’s heroics salvaged three points against Crystal Palace, but questions linger over City’s form on the road—particularly with their attack not firing on all cylinders away from home.
Everton, meanwhile, have found new life under David Moyes. Once staring down relegation, they’ve surged to 13th and are unbeaten in six straight at Goodison Park. Last weekend’s dramatic late winner from Abdoulaye Doucoure was a snapshot of their revived grit and belief.
City haven’t lost to Everton since 2017, but this trip won’t be a walk in the park. The Toffees are well-drilled, high on confidence, and won’t shy away from a battle. Guardiola’s men will need to come prepared for a fight.
They haven’t beaten City since 2017, but this isn’t a write-off. Everton are organised, confident, and love a scrap—City better come ready.

Man City vs. Everton predicted lineups, team news
City’s injury list is stacking up. Ederson‘s out with a groin issue, joining Rodri, Nathan Ake, John Stones, Erling Haaland, and Manuel Akanji on the sidelines. Phil Foden’s touch-and-go.
Stefan Ortega should start in goal, and don’t be shocked if Guardiola shuffles the backline after that shaky Palace start— Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Josko Gvardiol could all come in. Kevin De Bruyne and Omar Marmoush are locked in up top, but spots around them are up for grabs—Jeremy Doku or Savinho might get the nod.
Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly — Gundogan, Gonzalez — Savinho, De Bruyne, Doku — Marmoush.
Injured: Rodri, Ake, Stones, Haaland, Akanji
Suspended: None
For Everton, Jesper Lindstrom‘s hernia op means his loan spell might be done. Mangala and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are still out, and while Dwight McNeil is back from injury, he might not be ready to start.
That likely keeps Jack Harrison out wide, with Doucoure and Iliman Ndiaye behind the striker. Beto‘s pushing to start up front over Armando Broja.
Everton predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko — Gueye, Garner — Harrison, Doucoure, Ndiaye — Beto.
Injured: Lindstrom, Mangala, Calvert-Lewin
Suspended: None
