Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

Manchester City will be aiming to extend their phenomenal winning run across all competitions to 17 matches when they take on Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening.

Pep Guardiola's merciless men struck three times against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening to open up a seven-point gap at the top of the Premier League table, although Manchester United could cut that lead to five depending on how they fare against West Bromwich Albion.

The Citizens also recorded a seventh consecutive home clean sheet - equalling their all-time club record - with that 3-0 success against Spurs, but they are now facing an Everton side who put five past Jose Mourinho's men in the FA Cup last week.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
