Manchester City must be brimming with momentum at the moment. The club got their hands on the Club World Cup title last weekend, routing Fluminense 4-0 in the finals. With the title now in their cabinet, the team will layer their focus back on the Premier League, with the defending champions currently trailing by 6 points in the title race. With some big names, including Erling Haaland, expected to make their return to the side ahead of their clash against Everton, Pep Guardiola will surely fancy his chances.

However, Everton might not exactly be a walk in the park for the defending champions. Sean Dyche’s men have been on fire as of late and could pose an enormous threat to the Citizens. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City can bounce back in the Premier League or if Everton put a dent in their slipping title defense.

Everton vs Manchester City: Prediction

Sean Dyche’s Everton will have a lot on their plate as they host the defending champions at Goodison Park. The Toffees have displayed gritty performances this season, winning four of their last five Premier League fixtures. Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has been seemingly struggling this season and would like to get their campaign back on track with a win over Everton. The team will have momentum following their triumph in the Club World Cup finals over Fluminense. But with all factors taken into consideration, the game has a high chance of ending in a draw.

Everton vs Manchester City: Injury Updates (Will Erling Haaland Play?)

Sean Dyche’s side was hit hard in the last game against Tottenham, with midfielder Idrissa Gueye sustaining an injury. The player is yet to recover from his unspecified knock and will be unavailable for the clash against Pep Guardiola’s men. However, the team might be boosted by the return of Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young, with the defenders set to make their return to the first team.

Guardiola has some promising news for the fans as Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jeremy Doku will make their return to the squad traveling to Goodison Park. While the Spaniard might not be eager to rush De Bruyne into his playing eleven, fans expect Haaland and Doku to make it into the final team sheet. Rodri, who suffered a knee injury during the Club World Cup final against Fluminense, has also been declared fit and will be available for selection against Everton.
