Everton v Manchester City: match preview Manchester City (Possible, 4-2-3-1): Hart; Zabaleta, K Touré, Nastasic, Clichy; Javi Garcia, Barry; Silva, Tévez, Y Touré; Dzeko. Out: Kompany (calf), Rodwell (hamstring), Agüero (knee), Richards (knee), Maicon (foot). Team News Everton will again be without goalkeeper Tim Howard and defender Phil Jagielka for the Premier League clash with Manchester City at Goodison Park. Howard broke two bones in his back in the FA Cup fifth-round replay at Oldham last month and Jan Mucha will continue to deputise, while Jagielka is recovering from surgery to repair a cut to his ankle. Everton manager David Moyes will assess a couple of other players who picked up knocks in the defeat by Wigan last weekend while full-back Tony Hibbert may not play again this season. Manchester City are again without captain Vincent Kompany and striker Sergio Agüero. Defender Kompany, who has missed the last seven games, continues to be troubled by calf issues while Agüero is in Argentina for treatment on the knee problem that has already sidelined him for two matches. Right-backs Micah Richards and Maicon and midfielder Jack Rodwell remain on the long-term casualty list. Everton are still without Tim Howard so Jan Mucha continues in goal. Match Notes In their last four games, in league and cup, Manchester City have scored 12 goals and conceded none, and that without captain and defender Vincent Kompany and striker Sergio Agüero. While City hope that United trip up and they maintain their good form, Everton are wary that their season is beginning to implode. The 3-0 home defeat by wigan in the FA Cup has increased the pressure, particularly as they Everton have also lost two of their last three in the league. Another reverse could, indeed, prove damaging to David Moyes. Betting: Home 23-10, Way 23-20, Draw 12-5. Stat of the game: Manchester City have 59 points, seven fewer than they had after 28 games last season. John Ley's prediction: Everton 0 Manchester City 2.
