Everton have a trio of players off on international duty, but the Brazilian international Elano could make a timely return in this top-six clash with two of the Premiership's most improving sides going head to head at Goodison Park.
Suspensions and Injuries
Everton will be without Joseph Yobo, Ayegbeni Yakubu and Steven Pienaar - all away on African Nations Cup duty.
Manchester City are hoping to welcome back Elano.
Squads
Everton (from): Howard, Hibbert, Lescott, Jagielka, Stubbs, Valente, Baines, Arteta, Carsley, Cahill, Neville, McFadden, Johnson, Anichebe, Vaughan, Wessels, Gravesen, Anderson.
Manchester City (from): Hart, Isaksson, Onuoha, Corluka, Sun, Dunne, Richards, Garrido, Ball, Ireland, Hamann, Elano, Fernandes, Geovanni, Petrov, Castillo, Mpenza, Vassell, Bianchi, Samaras.
The Lowdown
This is a top six clash, in which victory for Everton would see them leapfrogging their fourth placed north-west rivals. David Moyes and Sven-Goran Eriksson are undoubtedly the managers responsible for the most improving sides in the Premiership.
