Manchester City
Man City could be without former Everton man John Stones after he was forced off at Villa Park with discomfort in his foot, while Ederson is a doubt due to illness.
Matheus Nunes also missed the game with a knock, but with City now welcoming back players such as Mateo Kovacic and Nathan Ake, his services may not be required as often.
Elsewhere on the injury list, Ruben Dias will miss the next couple of weeks with a muscle problem, Oscar Bobb is not expected back until February, while Rodri will miss most of the season with his ACL tear.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; De Bruyne, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Everton
Everton will have Armando Broja available again after he was ineligible to face parent club Chelsea last weekend, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin is again the favourite to start, despite now being on a 12-game scoring drought.
Ashley Young is suspended after he picked up a fifth caution of the season against Chelsea, so club captain Seamus Coleman is expected to come in and make a rare start following numerous injury setbacks this season.
Dwight McNeil failed a late fitness test ahead of Sunday's fixture, and remains a doubt here, meaning Everton could be unchanged apart from the enforced alteration at right-back.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Mangala, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin
Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Everton
