Manchester City will look to stretch their winning streak to four matches when they resume their Premier League campaign against Everton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
After a shaky start to their new season, the Citizens have finally regained their spark, remaining unbeaten in their last seven outings across all competitions and having won five of those. Pep Guardiola’s men secured a confident 1-0 victory over Brentford just before their international break.
Everton, on the other end, will be arriving in Manchester on the back of solid form. They picked up an impressive 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace before their international break. Despite sitting in the middle of the points table, the Toffees have been performing well under pressure.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.

Man City vs. Everton lineups, team news
Pep Guardiola will have a decision to make over Rodri, who withdrew from Spain duty this month due to a hamstring problem but could potentially be involved this weekend.
Omar Marmoush will also hope to be back after a month out with a knee problem, while Abdukodir Khusanov and Rayan Ait-Nourti also have a chance of being available.
Gianluigi Donnarumma will continue in goal while Ruben Dias will lead the backline for the Citizens. Nico Gonzalez is expected to replace Rodri in midfield if the Spaniard is not able to start, accompanied by Phil Foden and Tijjani Reijnders.
Meanwhile, Erling Haaland, who is in sensational goal-scoring form, will lead the line for Guardiola's men after sitting out Norway's friendly draw with New Zealand this week.
Man City predicted starting XI (4-1-4-1, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly — Gonzalez — Bobb, Reijnders, Foden, Savinho — Haaland.
Injured: Rodri (thigh), Marmoush (knee, doubt), Ait-Nouri (ankle, doubt), Khusanov (ankle, doubt)
Suspended: None
Moyes also has his fair share of injury problems as Jarrad Branthwaite, Michael Keane and Merlin Rohl are doubtful for this away trip.
Grealish is ineligible to feature against his parent club, so Everton will need to reconfigure their attack in the absence of the England international.
Jordan Pickford, who is reportedly close to signing a new contract, will start in goal with James Tarkowski leading the defence. Jake O'Brien could move to centre-back alongside him if Keane is not fit to start.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will return to the lineup after serving a one-match ban against Crystal Palace, with Iliman Ndiaye starting on the right flank
Beto may replace Thierno Barry in attack after the latter has struggled to adapt to a new league.
Everton predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Coleman, O'Brien, Tarkowski, Mykolenko — Garner, Gueye — Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Dibling — Beto.
Injured: Rohl (groin, doubt), Branthwaite (thigh, doubt), Keane (rib, doubt)
Suspended: None
