Everton host Manchester City in a match that has huge implications at both ends of the table.
We’ve reached that part of the season where every match shapes the story of a whole season. Manchester City are trying to hold off Arsenal while Everton are doing all they can to avoid relegation.
Sunday’s match at Goodison Park kicks off at 3pm.
The big question is how Pep Guardiola will line up his City side. City aren’t just occupied with the title race.
Already into the FA Cup final where they will face rivals Manchester United next month, they’re potentially 90 minutes away from reaching their second-ever Champions League final, thus setting up the chance of completing a unique treble.
But they must overcome Real Madrid in order to stay on track. 1-1 from the semi-final first-leg that took place on Tuesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva might be rested which will allow Everton a lifeline in the game.
After a shock 5-1 victory at Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this week, the Toffees are out of the drop zone for the first time in a long time and two points clear of 18th-placed Leeds United.
Things are looking much more promising for Sean Dyche and his troops. Dyche has a number of selection issues to deal with.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has just two Premier League goals to his name in another injury-hit campaign, but provided he is fit he will start.
Yerra Mina having made his first appearance under Dyche against Brighton and might start ahead of Michael Keane while Idrissa Gueye, who was booked against Brighton, may find himself on the bench in place of Amadou Onana.
Dwight McNeil scored twice, so it would make sense for him to start against City.
It’s going to be a massive game with City needing full focus despite their Champions League ambitions.
