Team News
- Tim Cahill scored his first goal of the season last time out, in somewhat fortuitous fashion, and should keep his place in support of the lone striker.
- A first goal of his Everton spell for Denis Stracqualursi in the cup win over Fulham could earn the Argentine a start ahead of Saha up front.
- Royston Drenthe will compete for a place on the left with Victor Anichebe and Magaye Gueye.
- Roberto Mancini will be relieved to have Vincent Kompany back from suspension after Stevan Savic put in a number of poor performances at the back.
- Mario Balotelli begins a 4-match suspension having been charged with stamping on Scott Parker's head in the last gasp win over Spurs last time out.
- Edin Dzeko could drop out of the side, with Aguero playing as the lone front man and either Johnson or De Jong returning to the starting XI.
Prediction
- The winning side has scored twice in the last 6 matches between Everton and Man City, with no draws in this fixture since 2006 and Everton boasting the superior record of late with 4 wins to City's 2 despite a 2-0 defeat to Mancini's men earlier in the season.
- The Toffees have only lost 1 of their last 6 home matches against this Tuesday's visitors, winning 4, including the last 2.
- Everton have only won 3 home games all season, and just 1 of the last 5, but host a City side who have also only won 1 of their last 5 in terms of away games. Needless to say City will be favourites but they will need to break down an Everton side with the 7th best defensive record in the league.
- PREDICTION: Man City win 2-1

See all 4 commentsHaving Kompany back will be reassuring for City, although I dont think hell be busy against the toffies strikers!
saha hasnt scored in more than 1000 minutes of footy so probably wont start. everton also missing a lot of first-teamers.
Aguero and Silva alone have scored more goals and created more assists than the entire Everton line-up... 'Nuff said
Is anyone going to look past City for this one?
