[Tips]:
Manchester City F.C. performed outstandingly lately, remaining unbeaten in 7 games across all competitions.

With the return of Rayan Ait Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Omar Marmoush, Manchester City have more options for team selection in this match.

Combined with the in-form Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland, who performed brilliantly for their National Teams, Manchester City's attacking display remains highly anticipated.

Everton F.C. still face several player absences. The impressive winger Jack Grealish is ineligible due to the avoidance clause; he has been the player who created the most chances for Everton this season.
