Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester City could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Everton.

Manchester City trio Jack Grealish, Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer will all be assessed ahead of Saturday's Premier League contest against Everton at Goodison Park.

Grealish has missed the last three games with a shin injury, but Pep Guardiola is hopeful that the 26-year-old midfielder will return to first-team action soon.

Meanwhile, Jesus has been ruled out of City's last five matches with a minor muscle problem, which he sustained on international duty with Brazil, and Palmer has been out for over a month with an unspecified issue.

Guardiola is unlikely to make wholesale changes to his starting lineup despite their 3-2 home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, but the likes of Riyad Mahrez, John Stones and Nathan Ake will all be pushing to start.

Both Stones and Ake will be competing for a place at centre-back along with Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte, while Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo are set to continue as the full-backs.

In midfield, Ilkay Gundogan, who scored against Spurs, could be dropped to the bench if Guardiola decides to recall Mahrez, which would likely see Bernardo Silva move back into the three-man midfield alongside Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne.

Despite the unsavoury scenes pictured backstage at the Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook fight last weekend involving Phil Foden's family, the versatile midfielder is expected to continue in a false nine role, joining Mahrez and Raheem Sterling in the front three.

Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo; Mahrez, Foden, Sterling
