Everton take on league-leading Manchester City on Sunday afternoon needing to pick up some points after a couple of their relegation rivals around them managed draws against supposedly stronger sides.
City are a point ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand, and come to Goodison Park having managed a creditable 1-1 draw away at the Bernabeu against former Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti and his Real Madrid side. With a crucial return leg ahead on Wednesday, will Pep Guardiola ring the changes and give his premier players a break?

The Blues broke a streak of ten straight defeats against City with a 1-1 draw away on New Years’ Eve. Dyche’s men could use a little more of that good fortune of that previous game as they prepare to take on Pep’s side.
