Where to watch Man City vs. Everton live stream, TV channel, start time, lineups, prediction for Premier League match

Manchester City will be hoping to stop the slide as they host Everton in a Premier League clash this Thursday.

Pep Guardiola's side has lost their last three matches across competitions and has slid to No 7 in the Premier League standings. Their most recent league outing ended in a disappointing 1-2 away defeat to Aston Villa.

Meanwhile, Everton has won only three of their 16 matches so far. However, the team has gritted out goalless draws against Chelsea and Arsenal in their two previous league games.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

What time does Man City vs. Everton kick off?

Here's how that time translates across the U.S.:

Man City vs. Everton lineups, team news

Ruben Dias (calf) and Nathan Ake (thigh) will remain out till the early week of January. Center-back John Stones, who left the field at halftime during their outing against Villa, is likely to miss out on the Boxing Day clash. Along with Stones, Matheus Nunes, who is recovering from a minor injury, remains doubtful as well.

Goalkeeper Ederson, who missed the last match against Villa, is likely to miss the upcoming clash as well due to illness. Pep can possibly add Kevin De Bruyne in the starting XI. Rico Lewis is likely to move to midfield, whereas Ilkay Gundogan could be handled a rest.

Man City predicted XI (3-2-4-1, right to left): Ortega (GK) — Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol — Lewis, Kovacic — Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Grealish — Haaland

Injured: Rodri, Bobb, Dias, Ake, Stones, Ederson, Nunes
Suspended: None

Everton is dealing with some major injury concerns. Their star midfielders, Timothy Iroegbunam (foot) and James Garner (back), are sidelined with their respective muscle injuries.

Dwight McNeil might get a start in the first XI after missing the last game against Chelsea due to a knee issue. Ashley Young is suspended for this clash after picking up his fifth yellow card against Chelsea.

Everton predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko — Mangala, Gueye, Doucoure — Harrison, Calvert-Lewin, Ndiaye

Injured: Iroegbunam, Garner, McNeil (doubtful)
Suspended: Ashley Young

Man City vs. Everton Prediction 

Manchester City haven't lost at home to Everton in the Premier League since 2010. Moreover, they have won 16 of their last 27 meetings against the Toffees.

However, anything can happen with the run City are on. Sean Dyche has shown this season he can set up his team to nullify the best-attacking sides in the league, and Guardiola's side have been toothless in front of goal in recent weeks. They are still the favourites on paper and could eke out a close win.
