Everton v City pre-match thread

[Ric]

It’s ages away, but might as well start this now. Returned to the old prediction format too as requested.

Hopefully the squad will be refreshed from the break, and we could even have a fully fit squad to choose from?! Obviously there will be one eye on the CL quarter final, but I’d still be tempted to go full strength here after almost 3 weeks off for the players. It’s a bogey ground for us so we’ll need to be at it, regardless of Everton’s recent struggles.

Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Kompany
Delph
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sane
Sterling
Aguero

How many have we got close to totting up bans?

I’d go full strength.

Ederson
Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Delph
Fernandinho, Silva, De Bruyne, Sane, Sterling, Aguero

Not too fussed between Aguero and Jesus. Hopefully Aguero will get that goal he’s been looking for.

Would be good to see Mendy on the bench with a view to him getting 10/15 minutes depending on game situation.

We’ll smash em.

Think Fernandinho on 9 and Otamendi on 8

Think cut off point is after rags game

We seemingly always owe them one, but never manage to exact revenge! Thought we’d leather them in the first home of the season after the 4-0 drubbing at Goodison, but it never materialised. As such, I’m sure we’ll be in for a tough afternoon and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we drop points.

If that’s right then I’d give Fernandinho the day off.

Cheers. Dinho might be getting the night off then.

Should win easily but we do badly on the first game back from visits to Abu Dhabi.
