Think we’ll see Laporte and mahrez come in the team for this one. Maybe mendy too.

 

[broderickc23]

This past weekends fixture were an open invitation to take, I hope we can capitalize tomorrow! Lineup will be interesting, with Cancelo ballin out like he did I imagine he stays in, I'd say
Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Mendy
Rodri
Ferna
KDB
Torres
Mahrez
Sterling

(unless Pep feels confident in Aguero then sub him for Mahrez/Torres) Would love to see Phil but it doesn't seem in the cards based on recent selections.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Going to be very interesting to see how Pep uses the squad depth in the next two matches. Surely he will have to mix it up today from a fitness perspective

Woke up to quite heavy snow around Bolton. Not sure if it has reached Merseyside.

I thought exactly the same as the game is due to have fans and safety seems to play a part these days.

Quite nice to go in to a game thinking we won’t concede.

 

[Mike Cledford]

Blimey O’Riley!! Will the referees panel EVER give us an unbiased referee????? Aarrgghh.

Hang on, hang on. Don't you realise how difficult to find an unbiased ref nowadays?

 

[bluemoon32]

Not an easy game but Everton will be as tired as we are.
2-0 City

Please not Mendy.

Low chance of precipitation when the game is being played. But temperatures down to 1 degree.

I hope not.

Eddie
Cancelo
Dias
Stones
Ake
Rodri
Gundogan
Kev
Mahrez
Aguero
Sterling


Is what I think he will play

 

[applecentral]

City with a deeper squad should be too strong for Everton. We now know we are probably the best defensive team in Europe. I would further strengthen that team when we travel away to top sides. As below.
Ederson
Stones, Diaz, Laporte
Cancello Fernandinho/ Rodri, Mendy
De Bruyne Foden
Aguerro

A very solid team, pushing our full backs high up the pitch to negate oppositions full backs and use a dynamic counter attack with our 3 attacking players. Lots of clean sheets with that team.

 

[chickaroon]

Why can't he play? He was rested for Arsenal and we have 4 days before chelsea game after Everton. Should absolutely start

We need his aerial ability in this one.

 

[Cityinmud]

We need his aerial ability in this one.

I hope he plays. We need stones and dias. Next two PL games are extremely important to win.

 

[Stoned Rose]

We go 2nd if we win.

Must fucking win.

 

[Bill Walker]

It’s always hard doing a team as you don’t know fittness level, I would hope for some rotation.

Ederson
Cancelo
Diaz
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Ferndinho
KDB
Sterling
Mahrez
Foden

This is my guess

I can't see him playing Foden and I think Stones will play against his old team.

 

[blueyorkie]

All squads are the same size

I’m really glad you’ve said that, it drives me mad when people regurgitate media type garbage about size of squads. For those unaware every team has a squad of 25. Simple as that !

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Crazy odds on the game tonight given the league positions.

Everton 13:2
Draw 4:1

I have gone heavy on both as always hoping to lose my hard earned.
