Everton
A near-perfect afternoon for Everton at the Amex also saw Dyche's side sustain no fresh injury concerns, and they have been handed a slice of good news over Seamus Coleman's issue, which is not the potentially career-ending ACL problem that was first suggested.
While Amadou Onana could potentially threaten James Garner's place in the engine room, Dyche will surely see no reason to disrupt the harmony of his first XI following Monday's outstanding performance, and an eighth assist for Alex Iwobi on Sunday would see the ex-Arsenal man set a new Premier League single-season record for Nigerian players.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Mina, Mykolenko; Iwobi, Garner, Gueye, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin
Manchester City
As for Man City, Guardiola elected not to make a single substitution at the Bernabeu, where all 11 of his starters came through unscathed, but Nathan Ake missed the journey due to the thigh problem that he picked up in the win over Leeds.
It is still unclear how long Ake might be sidelined for, but the Dutchman - who is feeling "much better" according to Guardiola - should not be risked for the trip to Merseyside, where the visitors can be expected to make a plethora of changes with one eye on the Champions League.
All of Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez, Aymeric Laporte and Rico Lewis will be strong contenders to come into the first XI, while fringe players such as Kalvin Phillips and Sergio Gomez could even get a look-in too.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Laporte; Lewis, Rodri; Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden, Grealish; Haaland
Prediction: Everton 1-2 Manchester City
