Foden To Lead The Line, De Bruyne Starts | 4-3-3 Manchester City Predicted Lineup Vs Everton

Manchester City will lock horns with Everton at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon, hoping to pick up all three points on their home turf. The Citizens will be coming into the match on the back of an incredible 2-0 win over Manchester United, whereas Carlo Ancelotti’s men recorded a 0-0 stalemate against Tottenham Hotspur on November 7.

Pep Guardiola will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game. Jack Grealish might get the nod over Bernardo Silva in attack, whereas Aymeric Laporte looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.

4-3-3 Manchester City Predicted Lineup Vs Everton

Defence

Ederson Moraes will operate in between the sticks for the upcoming clash. The Brazilian shot-stopper will be hoping to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Sunday.

Aymeric Laporte will replace John Stones to form the centre-half partnership with Ruben Dias at the heart of City’s backline.

Joao Cancelo should be a starter at the left-back position, whereas Kyle Walker will fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The full-backs will be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.

Midfield

Rodri might start in the holding midfield position and could be assigned with more of a defensive role to shield the home side’s back-four.

Ilkay Gundogan will slot into the central midfield role, whereas Kevin De Bruyne is expected to start in the attacking midfield position. The duo would be determined to set up some clear cut goal scoring chances for the front men.

Fernandinho will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he could come on to make a cameo appearance in the second half.

Attack

Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing, respectively.

Phil Foden will lead the line for Manchester City this weekend. The England international will be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Toffees defence that has conceded nine goals in their last five league matches.

Raheem Sterling will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he could be brought on in the second forty-five minutes.
