Everton vs Manchester City LIVE: Score and latest updates from Premier League – Erling Haaland starts
Everton will be tough, anything can happen – Guardiola
Follow live coverage as Everton take on Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made four changes to the Everton trip ahead of next week’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.
Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva were all on the bench after the 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu, with Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden joining.
Everton made a forced change to Monday’s surprise 5-1 win at Brighton, replacing absent left-back Vitalii Mykolenko with Mason Holgate.
We bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

It’s a poor attempt to clear a McNeil ball and Mahrez snatches the ball before curling it back into the far post. Akanji nods for Gundogan, but he doesn’t manage to adjust his feet in time to fire a shot at close range.

While City is waiting for a throw-in, Mina goes down in the penalty area. He had his arms around Laporte, who then slapped the Colombian’s hands away. The referee talks to both of them and then it can continue.

City aim for Everton’s left side as their best chance of getting into the penalty area. Holgate is knocked out by a Mahrez pass towards Alvarez, but his retreat is blocked by Tarkowski.

City have won their last five Premier League away games against Everton, as many as in the previous top 26 games at Goodison Park (U7 N14). They could become only the second side, after Portsmouth between 1948 and 1956, to win six consecutive away wins against the Toffees.

City are still pushing here, but they’re having a hard time getting into the box. Haaland still hasn’t managed a single touch of the ball since kick-off and misses the chance to save Walker’s cross because he falls too deep.

Holgate delivers a free-kick on the right and Mahrez swings in a cross. The ball is cleared by Everton, who quickly counter the ball again. McNeil shoots forward for Doucoure but Walker’s pace means he arrives first.

On the other end, Ederson shoots the ball straight to Iwobi, who quickly sorts his feet out so he can pass the ball forward for Doucoure. However, he gets too much of it and the midfielder can’t reach it.
