Preview of the Manchester City vs Everton Premier League match with predicted lineups, team news, and injury updates for both squads.

Everton’s steady climb back to form has shown their discipline, grit, and reliance on a few dependable players. They rarely make headlines but always deliver, and James Garner fits that description

Garner joined Everton from Man United in a bargain £9million deal back in 2022, and he has since forced himself onto the cusp of a senior England call-up. Moyes has backed him to break into the fold under Thomas Tuchel, and now, Garner has admitted that he is targeting a spot in the Three Lions’ World Cup squad.

Everton will have to cope without in-form attacker Jack Grealish for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

James Tarkowski has signed a two-year contract extension with Everton. The centre-half’s previous deal was due to expire at the end of the current season but he has agreed fresh terms to keep him with the Merseyside club until June 2028.

David Moyes has done an excellent job since returning to Everton after helping keep them in the Premier League and then making a strong start to the season. Moyes was appointed Everton manager back in January, with the team sitting 16th in the Premier League and just one point above the drop zone.

Balancing the incomings, the club saw an exodus of players, including stalwarts in Kevin De Bruyne, Gündoğan, Kyle Walker, Ederson and Manual Akanji, along with home grown talent in Everton target James McAtee.
