Everton vs Man City LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League after Haaland and Gundogan goals
Pep Guardiola’s side look to move a step closer to the Premier League title
Follow live coverage as Everton face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, with one eye on next week's Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid, made four changes for the trip to Everton.
Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva all dropped to the bench after the 1-1 draw in the Bernabeu, with Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden coming in.
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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Everton vs Manchester City
City's third change sees Rodri taken off as Phillips makes a short cameo from the bench.

Gray manages to win a corner, and Everton take is short. It takes them a while to get it into the box, though Patterson swings it deep into Tarkowski, but he can't direct his header on target.

City play themselves out of trouble well on the edge of their own box and Rodri has so much space in midfield. He tries to switch it out to Grealish, but his heavy pass flies straight of play.

Everton are keeping possession well when they win it back, but they're in no hurry to get upfield. They're happy to keep knocking it between their defenders.

Laporte goes for the more direct route again, going long down the right for Silva to chase. McNeil tracks him all the way though and safely heads it back to Pickford.

And Haaland is also going off. That means Alvarez will move into the centre-forward role, with Grealish brought on to play down the left.

City's first change of the game is a double one. Gundogan won't have the chance to go for a hat-trick as Silva is brought on for him.

McNeil gets a yard on Walker to swing a great cross into the middle of the box. Dias misses it and it bounces at Onana's feet, but he can't sort out his feet quick enough to have a shot.
