THE LOWDOWN
EVERTON
- Everton have their work cut out for them here against the Premier League leaders, but with their home form far superior to what they have shown on their travels, Frank Lampard’s men have reason to be cautiously optimistic.
- Lampard could be handed a big boost ahead of this clash with midfielders Abdoulaye Doucoure and Demarai Gray likely to have each recovered from injury in time to feature, although defenders Yerry Mina and Ben Godfrey remain out.
MAN CITY
- Man City saw their long Premier League unbeaten run ended last weekend by Tottenham and usually when Pep Guardiola’s side are defeated, they respond with an emphatic display that leads to a big victory, which they’ll be looking for here.
- Riyad Mahrez is expected to be reinstated into the starting line-up after coming off the bench against Tottenham, whilst both Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus could receive minutes after being declared fit.
THE TEAM NEWS

THE PREDICTION
Under Frank Lampard, Everton have won each of their two matches played at Goodison Park in all competitions. However, neither were against a team of Man City’s quality and with second-placed Liverpool starting to put some genuine pressure on the league leaders, City cannot afford another slip-up. The last nine fixtures in all competitions between these two famous old have seen Man City triumph in every single one and when factoring in the strength-in-depth within the visitors’ ranks along with the superior all-round ability of the City squad all over the pitch, back the away side to make it ten wins in a row over the Toffees.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN
