Predicted Everton XI vs Man City… Sean Dyche ditches 26-year-old, £33m player returns to start.

Everton are back in Premier League action this weekend, facing arguably the most difficult job in world football: a trip to Manchester City.

It’s a stadium where the Toffees haven’t won since 2010, against a team that has won 12 of the last 13 meetings in all competitions with the Merseyside club.

Fans will be dreading it, especially because relegation rivals Luton Town and Sheffield United face off later that day.

Sean Dyche faces a challenging assignment to build a team capable of winning at the Etihad.

Here’s our Everton predicted XI for Manchester City…

The 52-year-old coach is anticipated to make three changes from the team that secured a late point against Tottenham Hotspur.

Jordan Pickford will continue in goal, with a back four that has only slightly modified to deal with the additional threat that Saturday’s opponents will present.

Ben Godfrey may have lately starred at full-back, but his late substitute last weekend resulted in the return of Seamus Coleman.

If healthy, the club captain will provide a dependable presence in difficult circumstances and is anticipated to replace the 26-year-old titan.

James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite will remain in the back, joined by Vitaliy Mykolenko.

Amadou Onana was ‘touch and go’ for the Spurs game, therefore he is anticipated to start here.

To prepare for the crucial relegation game against Crystal Palace, the £33 million player might be given a brief 60-minute stint before being replaced.

The Belgian enforcer will pair Idrissa Gana Gueye, who shone on his return from AFCON, allowing James Garner to take on a more advanced role.

Given that few anticipate Everton to win this match, Dyche may also take advantage of the opportunity to rest Dwight McNeil.

After all, the former Burnley player appeared fatigued against his opponents last week, despite playing for 85 minutes.

He might be replaced by Lewis Dobbin, who impressed the home crowd with his pace and directness off the bench.

Jack Harrison will remain on the opposing flank, with the two wingers attempting to assist the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The striker has not scored in his last 18 games, in all competitions.
