Manchester City will hope to cut Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League to three points with victory at Everton.
Pep Guardiola’s men have not played a league game since their 1-0 victory at Burnley on April 22, which took them top of the table on goals scored.
Arsenal have done their job in rebuilding an advantage since, with wins over Newcastle United and Fulham piling the pressure on City.
This game brings City’s first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but they have an excellent record at Everton under Guardiola and face a Toffees side without a win in three.
Everton will be hoping to end that run and boost their hopes European football next season, having lost each of their last two game to 90th-minute goals.
