How Man City should line up vs Everton in the Premier League

Pep Guardiola must decide whether to keep Rico Lewis in his Manchester City starting XI or recall Joao Cancelo or Kyle Walker.

Guardiola has played Lewis in both of City's post-World Cup fixtures so far, keeping his senior right-backs on the bench, and the manager has praised Lewis' ability to cover both right-back and defensive midfield positions. Cancelo came off the bench at Leeds, and Walker is also available to face Everton as City look to keep the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

City could also look to recall the likes of Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva, who are yet to start after the World Cup, as well as refreshing the line-up from the Leeds win. Kalvin Phillips returned to the bench after criticism of his weight a week earlier, so will also be in contention.
