Everton will entertain Manchester City at Goodison Park this Wednesday night as both sides look to get all three points in the Premier League. The Toffees suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur recently. In contrast, the Mancunian club secured a dominant 4-0 win against Fluminense in the FIFA Club World Cup final which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Everton Vs Manchester City: Talking Tactics
Sean Dyche will opt for the 4-5-1 formation and could ask his players to defend their penalty box well before trying to catch the opposition off-guard on the counter.
Pep Guardiola will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and might instruct his men to dominate possession of the ball and engineer enough clear-cut chances to win this contest.
Team News
Everton
Idrissa Gueye will be sidelined for this game due to injury. Furthermore, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young are major doubts for this clash.
Everton Predicted XI
Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Onana, Garner, Gomes, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin
Manchester City
Rodri is a slight concern ahead of this game. This match might come too soon for Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne. However, the talented trio are nearing a return from their respective injuries.
Manchester City Predicted XI
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Akanji, Rodri; Silva, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez
Key Men
Everton
Jordan Pickford would have to make some solid stops at the back if Everton are to stand a chance of securing something from this game. The defensive performance of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite could go a long way in determining the fate of this contest.
Manchester City
Rodri and Manuel Akanji will have to control the flow of the game at the centre of the park if Man City want to secure a convincing win at Goodison Park this week. Julian Alvarez needs to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for the Mancunian club in the final third.
