Manchester City vs Everton
Match Preview
Everton go into the final match of the 2020-21 season with European football still within their grasp but in the knowledge they will probably need to pull off a surprise victory at Manchester City in order to seize it.
A place in the inaugural Europa Conference League is still possible for the Blues despite their horrendous home form that has seen them tumble from 2nd place on Boxing Day to 8th going into the last day of the season and there is a danger they could finish 10th if results elsewhere go against them.
James ruled out again
Everton will be without James Rodriguez and Seamus Coleman when they travel to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to face Manchester City in the final game of the season.
The Toffees know that a surprise victory on a ground where they haven t won for a decade will see them grab the Europa Conference League qualification spot if Tottenham don t win at Leicester. A draw for Carlo Ancelotti s side will be enough if Spurs lose and Arsenal don t beat Brighton at the Emirates.
Rodriguez was withdrawn from contention for Wednesday s win over Wolves and is ruled out this time because of his ongoing calf issues.
Evolution 2021, Part I: The Saleable Asset
Moise Kean arrived at Everton as a symbol of a new transfer strategy focused on signing hungry, young talent that could form the bedrock of a new squad. All the signs are now that he has played his last game for the Toffees who stand to make a tidy profit on a player who, ultimately, wasn t the right fit
Not for the first time in recent weeks, Carlo Ancelotti has addressed the speculation around Moise Kean’s future by saying that unless concrete moves are made by Paris Saint-Germain to sign him, he will return to Merseyside as an Everton player when his current loan deal expires.
