Match Preview: Everton vs Man City

Its another weekend and with the Premier League Season coming to an end, we are looking at a game billed by many as 'the title decider.' That game is Everton vs Man City at Goodison park. Following Liverpool's slip up to Chelsea last week, Manchester City are looking foward to capitalise fully on that with 3 games in hand starting with Everton. If the Citizens win all their matches, then the Title is surely travelling to the blue side of Manchester. Everton on the other hand, are a bit trapped at sea as a win for them would take them within one point of Arsenal in the pesuit for a Champions League spot. However, they could also hand their fierce Merseyside rivals Liverpool the ultimate chance to win the League for the first time in 24 years. Gareth Barry is ineligible as part of the loan
agreement between these two sides, so Ross
Barkley could be asked to play in the number-10 role, with Leon Osman dropping into central midfield.
Injuries have hit the Toffees as the worst possible time, with first-choice central defensive pair Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin, as well as free-scoring winger Kevin Mirallas, unlikely to play again this term.
John Stones and Antolin Alcaraz will continue at the back, while Gerard Deulofeu and Steven Naismith should start on their respective flanks, with Steven Pienaar another still in the treatment room.
In contrast, City have welcomed back Sergio
Aguero from a spell on the sidelines recently and the 16-goal Argentine should be named as Edin Dzeko's strike partner on Saturday evening.
David Silva and Jesus Navas are both carrying
knocks and are likely to start on the bench, with James Milner restored on the right to provide cover for the marauding runs of Everton's Leighton Baines.
BRIEF STATISTICS Everton have won on their last four occasions when they hosted Man City. City's only goal on those occasions came from Yaya Toure. Man City's win in the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium in October ended Everton's six game unbeaten streak at the start of the Season. POSSIBLE STARTING LINE UPS EVERTON: Howard; Coleman, Stones, Alcaraz,
Baines; McCarthy, Osman; Naismith, Barkley,
