Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League games against Everton (W11 D2), stretching back to a 4-0 loss at Goodison Park in January 2017. The home side are strong favourites to come out on top today and maintain their winning streak. We are now just a few moments away from kick-off.

Everton stick with the same starting line-up as the one that snatched a late 2-2 draw against Tottenham this time last week. Calvert-Lewin is without a goal in 17 matches but retains his place up top, while former City midfielder Harrison will play just off him in attacking midfield. There is a change elsewhere in the matchday squad as Onana is back among the substitutes after missing two games with a knee complaint.

Guardiola has a fully-fit squad to choose from and has made four changes to the Man City side that defeated Brentford five days ago. De Bruyne and Bernardo drop down to the bench, where they are joined by Grealish once again, while Nunes and Doku come into the XI. Stones and Akanji get the nod over benched pair Walker and Gvardiol in defence.

Everton are scrapping at the opposite end of the table as they sit down in 18th place, one point adrift of Luton Town in 17th having played a game more. The Toffees, not helped by a 10-point deduction they still hope to have at least partially overturned, have drawn three successive league games and are winless in six in the competition - a run that includes a 3-1 home loss to today's opponents in December.

City enter this contest on a nine-game winning run in all competitions and have gone 12 without defeat since a 1-0 reverse at Aston Villa in early December. Pep Guardiola's men recovered from a goal down to beat Brentford 3-1 on Monday and are now two points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand in what is shaping up to be a thrilling title race.
