    GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL O'REILLY GIVES MAN CITY THE LEAD!!! Massive goal from the youngster, who is beautifully served by Nunes, giving him the easy task of slotting the ball past Pickford from five yards. The 20-year-old might have just decided the game with five minutes to go. 0-1!

    Everton fail to make the most of their corner, and Ortega tries to release his side on the counter with a long ball toward Savinho. The Brazilian made good progress but was eventually brought down by Gueye, who is sanctioned with a yellow card. Promising free-kick for City.
  • 61'
    Ortega is called into action again as he denies Doucoure! The midfielder cut back to release a shot toward the near post, but the City shot-stopper was well-placed to stop the strike and send it behind for an Everton corner.
  • 59'
    Broja goes down after a challenge in the air with Nunes, but he seems good to carry on playing.
  • 57'
    Broja seemingly frustrated after giving away a free-kick in attack for his foul on Gvardiol.

  • 52'
    Tarkowski limps off the pitch to make way for Keane for Everton. Hopefully it is not to bad for the Everton captain, who could have just played his last game at Goodison Park.
  • 50'
    Tarkowski goes down after stretching to control Ortega's long ball, and immediately gestures for a substitution to the Everton bench. He seems to have pulled a muscle. Big blow for the hosts!
  • 49'
    City have started this second half very poorly. They get possession of the ball back as Ndiaye is caught offside.
  • 47'
    What a save from Ortega on O'Brien! Tarkowski nudges the Everton set-piece with his head, O'Brien then heads it from closer range, but the German goalkeeper extends a strong hand to deny the Toffees the lead.
  • 47'
    Foul from Bernardo on Doudoucre, and Everton have a free-kick in attack.
  • 47'
    No changes on either end in this second half!
  • 46'
    Underway for the second half!!
  • 45+1'
    HT: Everton 0-0 Man City. No added time as Hooper sends both sides into the dugout for the break. City started out on the front foot, but Everton grew into the game after a slow twenty minutes. James Tarkowski, denied by the post, came closest to breaking the deadlock, while De Bruyne had City's most promising chance right on the brink of the whistle. All to play for in the second period as we remain goalless.
  • 43'
    Massive save from O'Brien on De Bruyne! The Belgian looked to have a clear shot on goal from Nunes' pass-back, but the Toffees defender managed to get a vital header to stop the ball from nestling into the back of the net. Corner for City!
  • 40'
    Approaching the half-time whistle, can anyone find the goal that will break the deadlock?
  • 38'
    Branthwaite gets a touch on Savinho's low cross in the box to put the ball behind for a City corner.
  • 35'
    Another foul, this time from Doucoure on Nunes. The midfielder is protesting the referee's decision, but Hooper is hearing none of it.
  • 34'
    Foul from Marmoush on Branthwaite in the Everton half.
  • 32'
    Man City had the chance to threaten the Toffees with De Bruyne's free-kick, but Gonzalez's foul on Tarkowski put an end to their attack.
  • 31'
    Tarkowski hits the post!! Garner's whipped ball is directed by the centre-back's head, but the woodwork just denies him. First big chance of the day at Goodison!
  • 30'
    Harrison's cross is met with Broja's head, but it is deflected behind for a corner. Tension rising for City now...
  • 30'
    City have lowered their rhythm in these last ten minutes, and now it is Everton on the front foot.
  • 28'
    Another ball given away by Ortega, whose pass goes over O'Reilly's head to gift Everton a throw-in.
  • 26'
    Everton are starting to settle more into the game, holding a bit more of the ball and showing a willingness to get forward and harm their opponents.
  • 24'
    Ortega cheaply gives away the ball to Everton with a misplaced pass meant for O'Reilly on the left. Harrison collects, but the attack comes to nothing as his cross travels across the pitch box to go behind for a goal-kick.
  • 22'
    Three Everton players applying pressure on Gonzalez just outside the City area, but the Spaniard manages to survive the threat by passing the ball to a teammate nearby.
  • 21'
    Harrison is caught offside from O'Brien's pass down the right flank.
  • 19'
    Ortega looks for Bernardo on the right flank, but his ball is too deep and goes out for an Everton throw-in.
  • 16'
    The defending Premier League champions' cross is successfully defended by the hosts.
  • 15'
    First shot on target and first corner of the game for City. Nunes hits a low effort from outside the box, slipping in the process, which forced a stretch off Pickford to keep it out.
  • 14'
    Savinho is demanding a penalty for O'Brien's challenge on the far post, but referee Hooper denies the Brazilian.
  • 13'
    City continue to hold majority of the possession, but Everton are not to be underestimated on the counter.
  • 11'
    Foul from Marmoush on Tarkowski in the Everton half. The striker's challenge in the air was deemed illegal, as he tried to head Ortega's goal kick.
  • 9'
    Everton threatening to hurt City on their first chance! Great run from Ndiaye, who wiggles in the middle of the park with the ball at his feet to bring his team forward. A ball is launched from the right flank toward Ortega's far post, with Harrison and Doucoure both looking to hit it. A bit of miscomunication between the two, and the ball is behind for a goal kick for the visitors.
  • 8'
    Gvardiol tries to pick out Nunes with a lobbed ball from defence, but it is just a tad too deep. Everton get a goal-kick.
  • 6'
    Dias launches a long ball forward, looking for Marmoush, but it is not precise and lands at the feet of Tarkowski, who again sends it away from harm's way.
  • 4'
    Another low cross sent into the box by City, this time from the other end by De Bruyne. Tarkowski is well-placed to send it away for another throw in on the right flank.
  • 4'
    Man City holding the ball with patience, as Everton remain squeezed into their own half.
  • 2'
    Good run down the left from O'Reilly, who serves Marmoush further up the pitch. The Egyptian moves well in between the Royal Blue shirts around him, sending a promising through ball for Savinho, but the Brazilian's low cross in kicked away for a throw in by the Everton defence.

    Underway at Goodison Park for Everton v Man City!!!
Start of match

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Frustrating minutes for Man City, who are struggling to pose any threat to Everton. But the hosts will want to capitalise on this dominant spell to really hurt their opponents.
  • PRVW
    The stage is set at Goodison Park, here we go as players take the field!
  • PRVW
    On the bench for Pep Guardiola's side: Carson, Kovacic, Grealish, Doku, Akanji, Khusanov, Foden, Lewis, McAtee.
  • PRVW
    Manchester City's starting XI (4-2-3-1): Ortega (GK); Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gonzalez, Gundogan; Savinho, De Bruyne, Bernardo; Marmoush.
  • PRVW
    On the bench for David Moyes' side: Virginia, Patterson, Keane, McNeil, Beto, Young, Coleman, Alcaraz, Iroegbunam.
  • PRVW
    Everton's starting XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Harrison, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Broja.
  • PRVW
    We have the confirmed lineups for the clash!! Let's see what they're saying...
  • PRVW
    Manchester City's possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Ortega (GK); Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Kovacic, Gundogan; Savinho, De Bruyne, Grealish; Marmoush.
  • PRVW
    Everton's possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Harrison, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's have a look at the possible lineups!
  • PRVW
    Phil Foden returned to team training after missing the win over the Eagles, and could therefore be part of Pep Guardiola's matchday squad for the trip to Liverpool. Elsewhere, Rodri, Erling Haaland, Nathan Ake, John Stones and Manuel Akanji all remain sidelined with their respective injuries.
  • PRVW
    On the other hand, City will be without Ederson, who registered his fourth Premier League assist of the season last weekend, between the sticks after being withdrawn late against Palace. Stefan Ortega will therefore replace the injured Brazilian.
  • PRVW
    Jesper Lindstrom will be ruled out at least until mid-May after undergoing surgery on a hernia, joining Orel Mangala on the sidelines after the midfielder suffered a season-ending ACL injury earlier this term.
  • PRVW
    In terms of team news, Everton will continue to be without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been missing since the end of January with a hamstring injury.
  • PRVW
    Having already taken points off Liverpool, Arsenal and Forest, Moyes' men will be aiming to continue their positive results against the teams further up on the table.
  • PRVW
    The Toffees find themselves in 13th place with 38 points in England's top tier, and have practically escaped relegation as they sit 17 points above Ipswich in 18th. A win this afternoon would bring them within two points of 12th-placed Palace.
  • PRVW
    On the other hand, Everton will be hoping to dent City's Champions League hopes after losing just two games since the return of David Moyes in the dugout.
  • PRVW
    The Citizens head into their trip off the back of a 5-2 victory over Crystal Palace, which saw them come from two goals behind at the Etihad, placing them fifth. This season, fifth place will be enough to reach the top European club competition.
  • PRVW
    And as the defending Premier League champions pay a visit to Goodison Park to face Everton, three points will be crucial to move them above Forest, and within one point of the Magpies, who travel to Aston Villa later today.
  • PRVW
    Five points separate Newcastle in third from Aston Villa in seventh, with Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Chelsea sandwiched in between.
  • PRVW
    Runaway Liverpool are set to be crowned champions with 76 points and a comfortable 13-point cushion on Arsenal in second. But past that, things are a bit packed...
  • PRVW
    Six games remain in the Premier League and the fight for Champions League qualification looks closer than ever.
