Team News:

• Rayan Ait Nouri is injured and will not be in action for Manchester City. Rodri and Abdurkodir Khusanov might also miss out due to fitness issues.
• Everton might miss out on the services of Jarrad Branthwaite, Michael Keane and Merlin Rohl due to their witness issues. Jack Grealish is not allowed to feature against his parent club Man City.

Player(s) to watch:

• Erling Haaland has looked in good touch since the start of the season and he is ready to lead Man City in the attacking front yet again. Erling Haaland has scored nine goals in seven Premier League matches in the ongoing season. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence going forward.
• Beto is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Everton in the absence of Jack Grealish. He will be looking to step up so that he can help his side stand a chance against Man City. It is not going to be an easy outing for the Toffees, but a special performance by Beto can be game changer for them.
