Manchester City enters the upcoming weekend with a clean bill of health, as Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji, both of whom were part of the matchday squad against Brentford, have successfully recovered from their respective injuries.
Despite keeping just one clean sheet in their last 12 league matches, manager Guardiola may contemplate a few adjustments to his defensive lineup. Akanji, John Stones, and Rico Lewis are all vying for spots in the starting XI.
In midfield, Guardiola may opt to partner Rodri with either Mateo Kovacic or Matheus Nunes. Meanwhile, the attacking trio of Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, and Oscar Bobb face a tough challenge in displacing the likes of Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez, or Bernardo Silva, who all supported Haaland in the recent match against Brentford.
On the Everton side, Arnaut Danjuma remains sidelined due to an ankle injury, alongside Andre Gomes (calf), Dele Alli (groin), and Abdoulaye Doucoure (hamstring), although Dyche has indicated positive progress in Doucoure's recovery.
However, Everton may see the return of midfielder Amadou Onana from a knee injury, while Ben Godfrey is expected to be fit despite experiencing cramps in the previous match against Spurs.
In defense, Godfrey will compete with Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson for the right-back position. Up front, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is likely to lead the attacking line once again, supported by wingers Harrison and Dwight McNeil.
