How Manchester City could line up against Everton

Sports Mole looks at how Manchester City could line up for their Premier League clash with Everton at the Etihad on New Year's Eve.

With almost a full strength squad to choose from, Pep Guardiola is expected to tinker with his starting lineup again when Manchester City host Everton on New Year's Eve.

Julian Alvarez will not be a part of the squad but with Argentina's World Cup party winding down, the striker could be back in club action within a couple of weeks.

Ruben Dias is the only injury absentee for City, as the defender will miss up to a month with a thigh injury.

That will be no problem for the champions though, as they still have an abundance of quality at centre-back to fill the void.

Manuel Akanji and John Stones were selected in the centre for the clash with Leeds United in midweek, but Aymeric Laporte could come into the side after he was rested.

Nathan Ake is another who can play in the centre, but he was used as a left-back at Elland Road with Joao Cancelo also starting on the bench.

Youngster Rico Lewis was given his full Premier League debut in that success on the road, but with Kyle Walker back to full fitness, the England international may come in to replace the 18-year-old at right-back.

Wednesday's trip to Leeds was the first time this season that Bernardo Silva has not featured in any capacity this season, whether it be from the start or off the bench.

As one of Guardiola's favourites though, Silva should return to the starting lineup here in place of Ilkay Gundogan.

Phil Foden is another one of the superstars who was given most of the night off before a brief cameo at the end, and after a mixed night for Jack Grealish, Foden may come in to replace him on the left.

The unstoppable Erling Braut Haaland will spearhead their attack once again after breaking even more records during the win in the city of his birth on Wednesday.

The goalscoring extraordinaire broke the record for the fastest any player has netted 20 Premier League goals in a season, reaching the landmark in just 14 matches.

He also reached 26 goals for the season in all competitions and with over half the season still to play, the numbers he may reach will be on levels we have not seen for several decades in the English game.

Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Haaland, Foden body check tags ::
