Everton vs Manchester City preview

Following a near two-week hiatus from Premier League football, Manchester City resume their quest for title glory on Monday night.

They visit Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time after edging out Southampton 2-1 to reach the FA Cup final last weekend, while the Toffees suffered a heartbreaking late 2-1 loss to West Ham United.

Pep Guardiola’s men are now six points behind the Gunners before even kicking a ball as the north London thumped Fulham 3-0 on Saturday.

That leaves City with two games in hand on the current league leaders, and needing to win both.

Everton head into Monday’s game following back-to-back 2-1 defeats, both sealed by gut-wrenching injury-time goals.

Deflating defeats to Liverpool and West Ham have left the Toffees stuck in 11th, though all is not lost with just 3 points between them and the Top 6.

Everton vs Manchester City Forest head-to-head

Manchester City won the previous match 2-0 last year October, with both goals coming from Erling Haaland.

Everton are winless in a staggering 17 Premier League games against Man City, who also prevailed on each of their last eight visits to Goodison Park in the top flight.

Guardiola vs. David Moyes has also been a mismatch down the years, as the Man City manager has not lost any of his previous 15 Premier League head-to-heads with the Scotsman, overseeing 12 wins and three draws in that time.

Everton vs Manchester City team news

Everton were always going to be without loanee Jack Grealish, who would have been ineligible to face his parent club. Nonetheless, the winger has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a stress fracture in his foot.

Elsewhere for the Toffees, defender Jarrad Branthwaite saw his campaign come to an end after his hamstring injury in the Merseyside derby defeat.

Beto missed West Ham loss with a concussion, but should be back in contention here.

On Manchester City’s end, Guardiola revealed in his pre-match press conference that Rodri was “getting better” as he manages a groin problem, but the Spaniard had not trained before Friday and remains doubtfu.

Either way, Rodri’s understudy Nico Gonzalez is in no position to be demoted after his 30-yard wonder strike to win the FA Cup semi-final – the longest-range goal by any Man City player this season.

 

Centre-backs Josko Gvardiol (calf) and Ruben Dias (thigh) are still missing, but Guardiola’s squad is otherwise in good shape for the trip to Merseyside.

Everton vs Manchester City possible starting lineup

Everton: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto

Manchester City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Silva, Gonzalez; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

Everton vs Manchester City prediction

City do not need to be blowing teams to smithereens at this stage of the season, they simply need to find ways to win, and that is exactly what Guardiola’s men are doing.

That said, this is a tricky test for them, as they will have their attentions split between the Premier League and the upcoming FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Nonetheless, the visitors will now recall well-rested big-hitters against a patchy Everton side, and a seventh consecutive victory for the Sky Blues is the only outcome we can envisage.

Correct score prediction: Everton 1-2 Manchester City

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured travellers and other airport users that enhanced health surveillance measures have been activated across the country’s international airports following renewed Ebola concerns in parts of Central Africa.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, FAAN said the measures were introduced in collaboration with Port Health Services, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) and other relevant agencies to strengthen preparedness and prevent possible health risks.

According to the authority, surveillance and passenger monitoring have been intensified, particularly for travellers arriving from high-risk regions.

“Passengers are being screened for symptoms associated with Ebola, and any suspected case will be promptly isolated and subjected to secondary health checks in line with established national and international health protocols,” the statement said.

FAAN noted that additional emergency response procedures have also been reinforced while airport personnel have undergone increased sensitisation as part of precautionary efforts.

The authority stressed that there is currently no confirmed Ebola case in Nigeria but said it remains vigilant in safeguarding public health and ensuring safe airport operations.

“FAAN remains vigilant and fully committed to safeguarding public health and maintaining safe airport operations,” the agency stated.

Passengers were also advised to remain calm, cooperate with health screening procedures and report any symptoms to health officials at the airports.

The development comes as health authorities across parts of Africa continue to monitor Ebola-related concerns and strengthen border surveillance to prevent cross-border transmission.

Nigeria’s aviation and health authorities have previously activated similar emergency screening measures during periods of global and regional disease outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic and earlier Ebola scares.
