Everton preview: Won against the odds
Everton were the better team from start to finish at The City Ground last weekend when they took on Nottingham Forest.
Abdoulaye Doucoure scored the only goal of the game deep into stoppage time to win the game for David Moyes' men. Doucoure’s goal (93:03) was Everton’s latest away winner on record in the Premier League (since 2006-07).
Orel Mangala, Jesper Lindstrom and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have all been ruled out of this weekend's clash with Manchester City due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Doucoure, Garner, Harrison, Beto & Ndiaye

Man City preview: Came from behind to win
Manchester City had to come from two goals behind to beat Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium last time out.
City went in at the break on level terms thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Omar Marmoush, while an early goal in the second half from Mateo Kovacic put the hosts 3-2 up. James McAtee added a fourth and Nico O'Reilly wrapped up a 5-2 win for the Citizens.
Ederson's assist for James McAtee was his fourth assist of the season. He's the only goalkeeper in Premier League history to record four assists in a single season. His seven assists overall is two more than any other goalkeeper in Premier League history.
Rodri, Nathan Ake, Erling Haaland, John Stones, Manuel Akanji and Ederson could all miss the trip to Goodison Park through injury.
Predicted lineup: Ortega (GK), Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Kovacic, McAtee, Gonzalez, O'Reilly & Marmoush

Player to watch: Omar Marmoush
Manchester City's January signing from Eintracht Frankfurt, Omar Marmoush, has scored six times in ten Premier League appearances but is yet to score away from the Etihad Stadium.
Marmoush looks set to lead the line once again this weekend due to Haaland being injured and the Egyptian international will be looking to test what is a very tough Everton defence.
Yet to score on the road in the Premier League
We believe that Marmoush's skill and pace will cause Everton's centre-backs plenty of problems this weekend but will it be enough for City to secure all three points?
