Manchester City XI vs Everton – Predicted lineup and team news Manchester City travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, aiming to reduce the six-point gap to leaders Arsenal. Pep Guardiola’s men hold two games in hand following the Gunners’ comfortable win on Saturday. City are currently on an eleven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

That said, they face a disciplined Everton side that has conceded few goals at their new home. Manchester City team news Rodri is making good progress with a groin injury but has not yet returned to training. Pep Guardiola stated it is too early to determine if he can feature on Monday.

The Spaniard has missed the last two fixtures after picking up the problem against Arsenal. Ruben Dias remains absent with a thigh injury and is not yet back with the team. Josko Gvardiol is also sidelined for the long term as he recovers from a broken leg.

Guardiola remains confident that his injured stars are improving as the season reaches its climax. Jérémy Doku remains a vital creative spark, having created twenty-four chances following ball carries. He has also provided four assists for Erling Haaland in the top flight this season.
