Fixture: Manchester City vs Everton
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:30 UK time
Everton manager Sean Dyche has named his starting eleven and substitutes for his side’s Premier League clash against champions Manchester City at the Etihad this afternoon.
Dyche has decided against making changes to the team that rescued a late point against Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park last weekend.
The Everton manager has gone with the tried and tested centre-back partnership of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite in the heart of his side’s defence.
Ben Godfrey and Vitaliy Mykolenko will play as the full-backs in the system and will be expected to support the attack if and when needed.
Idrissa Gueye and James Garner will form the midfield pairing for Everton and will hope to keep things ticking along with Ashley Young and Dwight McNeil playing as the wingers.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line for Everton at the Etihad today with Jack Harrison playing in a free role just behind the striker for Dyche’s side.
Youssef Chermiti, Lewis Dobbin, Amadou Onana, Beto and Nathan Patterson are some of the options Everton have on the bench today at Manchester City.
