Everton host reigning Premier League champions Manchester Cityat Goodison Park with both sides vying for a win.
Everton's scintillating gallop of four consecutive wins ended after Tottenham Hotspur defeated them 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Richarlison and Son Heung-Min thundered two early goals for the home side before Andre Gomes' late goal halved the lead but it was too little too late for the Merseyside club.
With Liverpool and Arsenal drawing at Anfield, Manchester City received a massive advantage as they can cut the gap to the Gunners to just three points who are now seeded second on the table behind Liverpool.
