Manchester City take on Everton this weekend in a tough Premier League encounter, which could result in the English champions overtaking Manchester United at the top of the table.
The North-West side continued to put pressure on their fierce rivals by clinching a late 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic last night, while Everton salvaged a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
The Toffees currently sit sixth in the table and can put pressure on the top four if they manage to get a result at the Etihad Stadium this weekend but manager David Moyes has some injury worries to contend with.
The Merseyside outfit may be without full-back Leighton Baines after the England international picked up a hamstring injury but Nikica Jelavic should lead the line with support from Marouane Fellaini.
Meanwhile, City boss Roberto Mancini could keep Mario Balotelli up top following his goal against Wigan but James Milner is unlikely to be available after suffering a recurring injury.
