Manchester City-Everton, the probable formations

Manchester City and Everton open the "Boxing Day" of the Premier League. Kickoff at 1:30 p.m. at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens will try to regain a victory they have been missing for four matches between the league and Champions League, while the Toffies need points to move away from the hot spot in the standings.

Guardiola is expected to bet on Haaland as center forward, with Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, Foden and Doku acting in the three-quarter. In the median, Gundogan is confirmed. Dyche, on the other hand, should rely on the offensive trident composed of Calvert-Lewin, Harrison and Ndiaye.
