Everton made one enforced change from Monday's surprise 5-1 win at Brighton with Mason Holgate coming in for absent left-back Vitalii Mykolenko.

Everton vs Manchester City
That's now 11 Premier League wins on the bounce for City as they move four points clear of Arsenal, with the Gunners due to kick off against Brighton shortly. Now their attention turns to the Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid. Everton stay just one point clear of the drop zone, and they travel to Wolves next weekend.
Everton vs Manchester City
Gundogan stars as Manchester City east past Everton 3-0. They made a pretty poor start to the game but turned things around with two goals in two minutes towards the end of the first half. Gundogan got the first with an audacious flick with his back to goal before then setting up Haaland for a thumping header moments later. It was then wrapped up early in the second half, with the German scoring a wonderful free-kick by curling it into the top corner. Tarkowski did smack a header off the bar later on, but Everton couldn't find a response.

Patterson gets a late burst of energy as he rushes forward to dispossess Akanji. He tries to get it out of his feet to curl in a cross but quickly loses out to the City man.

City are in no hurry to get upfield at all now, with their defenders comfortably knocking it around between then as the board goes up to show there will be four additional minutes.
