Man City vs Everton team news
As always, there is no shortage of options for Pep Guardiola. Joao Cancelo, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva were all benched against Leeds but could well come off if the City boss shook his squad.
Teenager Rico Lewis was credited by Kyle Walker at Elland Road when he made his first Premier League start, but was able to drop out of the squad this time.
Conor Coady should return for Everton after being ineligible to face Wolves, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is once again doubtful after missing out on selection entirely through that defeat.
Should the attacker be absent again, Neal Maupay will have the daunting task of taking the lead at the Etihad.
