"Everton's recent momentum has faltered, with the Toffees slipping back into inconsistency just as European hopes were beginning to take shape. After collecting a respectable 10 points from five league matches, Everton now heads into Monday's clash on the back of consecutive 2-1 defeats, both decided deep into stoppage time."
"History, though, is firmly stacked against them. Everton are winless in their last 17 league meetings with Manchester City, who also triumphed on each of their last eight top-flight visits to Goodison Park."
"Jack Grealish, on loan from City, would have been ineligible against his parent club regardless, but the winger has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season after undergoing foot surgery."
Manchester City returns to Premier League action against Everton after a two-week break. City is fresh from reaching the FA Cup final, while Everton faces challenges after two consecutive late defeats. David Moyes' record against Pep Guardiola is unfavorable, and Everton's recent form has been inconsistent. Despite being close to the top six, Everton has not won against City in their last 17 league encounters. City seeks to continue their winning streak at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where they have historically performed well.
