Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Manchester City and Everton at the Etihad Stadium!
Frank Lampard is starting to find himself under pressure, with his side sitting just one point above the relegation zone. The Toffees are winless in their last five in all competitions (D1 L4), losing the previous four on the bounce, including a last-minute 2-1 defeat to Wolves last time out. At the other end of the table, City have the chance to close the gap to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League to two points with a win here today. They've lost just one of their last nine games in all competitions (W7 D1), though that was their last home league match against Brentford when they were beaten 2-1 before the World Cup.
MANCHESTER CITY STARTING XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Rico Lewis, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake; Kevin De Bruyne, Rodrigo, Bernardo Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish.
MANCHESTER CITY SUBS: Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Kyle Walker, Sergio Gomez, Ilkay Gundogan, Julian Alvarez, Stefan Ortega, Joao Cancelo.
EVERTON STARTING XI (5-4-1): Jordan Pickford; Nathan Patterson, Ben Godfrey, Conor Coady, James Tarkowski, Vitalii Mykolenko; Alex Iwobi, Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana, Demarai Gray; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
EVERTON SUBS: Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies, Mason Holgate, Ruben Vinagre, Asmir Begovic, Dwight McNeil, Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Neal Maupay.
The teams are out on the pitch now, and there will be a minute's applause before kick-off in remembrance of Pele.
Guardiola will be fairly pleased with what he's seen so far but will be expecting more from his side in the second half by testing Pickford more regularly. As for Everton, apart from a few bright spells, they've struggled to get into the game. They've done fairly well at the back so far, but they need to take more risks if they want something out of this match.
City miss the chance to close the gap to Arsenal at the top, and they sit four points behind the league leaders, who are kicking off against Brighton shortly. Their next game is against Chelsea on Thursday. Everton stay in 16th and are now two points above the drop zone. They host Brighton next time out.
