The two teams played each other only a few days ago, as Everton won "Goodison Park" 2: 1 in the first game of the semifinals of the League Cup.
The captain of "Caramel" Phil Jagielka even threatened to City and said he and his teammates will not be panicked by the fact that the visit of "Etihad". Team manager Roberto Martinez Liverpool last to be wondering whether to bet on the 33-year-old defender as a starter because just returned to action after a two-month absence. Definitely out for Everton are defenders Ty Browning, Seamus Koulmans, Tony Hibbert and midfielder James McCarthy.
Manuel Pellegrini also has personnel problems. He said yesterday that the captain Vincent Kompany may miss rest of the season, a similar situation with Samir Nasri, out for Everton are still Wilfried Bony, Elekiel Mangala and Fernandinho. This means that the center of the protection to Otamendi will start Martin Demichelis. Alternatively, Bakary Sagna to be reclassified, but Pellegrini is unlikely to risk, given that leading striker Romelu Lukaku Everton is in brilliant form.
