Manchester City will have the chance to put some more permanent pressure on Liverpool in the Premier League title race when they face Everton in a rearranged fixture on Wednesday night.
City were not fully punished for their recent slip-up at Newcastle United, and returned to winning ways on Sunday with a comfortable 3-1 win over Arsenal at the Etihad.
Originally scheduled for later this month, their clash with Everton has been brought forward as a result of their participation in the EFL Cup final, and the champions could do damage to two Merseysiders in one game with a win at Goodison Park.
Here, Sports Mole looks at the latest injury and suspension news for Pep Guardiola's side.
MAN CITY'S INJURY LIST
