Manchester City v Everton: Premier League – live

Sean Dyche celebrates his 300th game as a Premier League manager today, and he speaks to TNT. “I’m pleased with that because it’s tough to get into the Premier League as a coach or manager anyway, so to have that longevity I’m pleased with that … a lot of my staff have been with me … unfortunately I’ll not be on the sidelines today which is a shame, but that’s the way it goes … I’ll be mic’d up, trying to communicate the best as possible … our away record has been good this season … our clean sheet record is good … they’re a top side … but our mentality has been strong away from home so we’ll try to put in a good performance and see where it takes us.”

Pep Guardiola talks to TNT Sports. “We have a tough schedule and need to get the best from the players who have come back from injury … we are quite solid in terms of the way we are playing … we have to be careful … we have a lot of games … everybody has to be involved … [the Premier League] is really good … there are proactive managers … it is amazing … I am one yellow card away to be suspended for two games … in modern football the referees are really protected!”

Manchester City make four changes to their starting XI in the wake of the 3-1 win at Brentford. John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Matheus Nunes and Jeremy Doku replace Kyle Walker, Josko Gvardiol, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, all of whom drop to the bench.

Everton select the same XI that started the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur this time last week. Amadou Onana returns from injury and is named as a sub.

Manchester City: Ederson, Akanji, Dias, Stones, Ake, Rodri, Foden, Nunes, Alvarez, Doku, Haaland.
Subs: Walker, Grealish, De Bruyne, Ortega, Bernardo Silva, Gvardiol, Bobb, Wright, Lewis.

Everton: Pickford, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Young, Garner, Gueye, McNeil, Harrison, Calvert-Lewin.
Subs: Patterson, Keane, Onana, Virginia, Beto, Coleman, Chermiti, Hunt, Dobbin.

Referee: John Brooks (Leicestershire).

Liverpool and Arsenal are relying on Everton to do them a huge title-chasing favour this afternoon. Then again, Sheffield United, Burnley, Luton Town, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Crystal Palace are hoping Manchester City give them a relegation-avoiding boost. A match that’ll have repercussions at both ends of the table. Kick off is at 12.30pm GMT. It’s all-encompassing … and it’s on!
