Pep Guardiola saw his team crash to a first defeat in the English Premier League at Stamford Bridge and was subsequently displaced from the top of the table by Liverpool last week. He will want his squad to bounce back with style when Everton come visiting to the Etihad. The Toffees were poor at home against Watford in their last game but their season has been a story of positives so far. They have in the past troubled the EPL Champions in their own backyard and City will be wary of the threat they possess.

Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne have both returned to first team training and are in contention to play some part in the game. The absence of Sergio Aguero has been a telling blow for City and in his absence both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus have failed to lead the line well. If the Argentine striker starts, Sterling will be moved to his favourable wide position with Jesus shunted to the bench. Leroy Sane and Fabian Delph have also been tipped to start against Everton as they look to get back to the summit of the league. Pep Guardiola will be concerned though with the lack of fight shown by some of his men when they are subjected to pressure. This could be a possible chink in their armour which Everton can capitalise on. Manchester City vs Everton - Live Football Score.

Everton have Gylfi Sigurdsson  and Andre Gomes in fine form and they are the ones that can torment the Manchester City play. Idrissa Gueye is facing a race against time to be fit for the massive game and if he fails ti make to the squad, Tom Davies would likely come in his place. Kurt Zouma and Yerry Mina have both looked vulnerable at times particularly against place and they will need to concentrate hard against an attack as good as that of Manchester City. The Toffees can challenge the defending champions at home but will fall short of winning the war. A 2-1 score line in favour of the home team is the most likely outcome.
