Confirmed Line-Ups: Everton vs Manchester City (Premier League)

Manchester City face relegation-threatened Everton on Sunday afternoon, in a contest that could have significant implications at the top and bottom of the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to build on what has already been a very promising month of May, with two Premier League victories against West Ham and Leeds followed up by an encouraging scoreline at the Santiago Bernabeu in midweek.

Kevin De Bruyne’s second-half wonder-strike against Real Madrid ensured a 1-1 scoreline will be carried over into this coming Wednesday’s second-leg meeting, as the Belgium cancelled out a similarly impressive goal from Vinicius Jr.

City come into the contest at Goodison Park having not lost a game since late February, although Everton are one of the few sides this season to have taken points from the reigning Premier League champions in a truly unpredictable campaign so far.

A wonderful Demarai Gray equaliser at the Etihad Stadium in late December ensured that the Toffees came away from City with a point, and frustrated Pep Guardiola’s side in their hunt for a third straight Premier League crown.
