Manchester City will face Everton in a crucial Premier League match as they strive to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the table. Pep Guardiola’s team is unbeaten since February but may be feeling fatigued due to a congested schedule, with a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid during the week in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Sean Dyche’s Everton will come into the game high on confidence after their 5-1 thrashing of Brighton and thus breaking their seven-game winless streak. Everton is currently embroiled in a fierce relegation battle with three games remaining. Dyche would know that even a point in this match could be vital for Everton’s survival hopes.
The match between Manchester City and Everton is scheduled to kick off on Sunday, May 14 at 2 p.m. local time. If you are in the UK, the game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. People in the USA can watch the game on USA Network, while in Canada, you can stream it on Fubo Canada. In Australia, Optus Sport is the exclusive broadcaster of Premier League football.
Dyche is likely to stick to a back four instead of a more defensive formation to keep Manchester City’s defenders on their toes. However, Seamus Coleman and Ben Godfrey are out for the rest of the season with a knee and groin injury, respectively. Ruben Vinagre is also a doubt for the fixture with a calf problem.
Guardiola has a tough decision to make with his lineup as he cannot underestimate the threat that Everton poses. However, he will want to keep his best players feeling fresh for their Champions League second leg. Nathan Ake is the only player set to miss out with a hamstring injury.
Manchester City is the heavy favorites heading into the fixture, with Everton’s last win against them back in 2017. However, they did secure a 1-1 draw at Etihad Stadium on New Year’s Eve.
In summary, this Sunday’s match between Manchester City and Everton will be a closely contested affair. While Manchester City will be looking to maintain their four-point lead, Everton will be hoping to secure a victory or at least a point to aid their fight for survival.
