Manchester City v Everton: match preview

Manchester City v Everton
Manchester City v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Manchester City can bounce straight back from their first loss at Tottenham and stretch the gap between themselves and Everton to seven points. Kevin De Bruyne could start after his injury but whether Pep Guardiola will risk him before Wednesday’s trip to Barcelona is the question. If Ronald Koeman’s side were to record an away win, expect an inquiry at City. Jamie Jackson
