Man City v Everton team news: De Bruyne + Walker benched

10 February 2024 1156 comments

Skonto Rigga

The imminent resumption of the UEFA Champions League may be on Pep Guardiola’s mind, looking at his teamsheet today.

Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Josko Gvardiol are taken out of the Manchester City starting XI for the lunchtime match at the Etihad, where Everton are the visitors.

But Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez do all start in Manchester.

The benched foursome above are replaced by John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Matheus Nunes and Jeremy Doku.

City play FC Copenhagen in the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday night, so there may further minute management to come during this afternoon’s game.

The Everton team news is much less newsworthy: Sean Dyche names the same starting XI that drew with Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Amadou Onana is among the substitutes after missing the last two matches with a minor knee issue.

Kick-off is at 12.30pm GMT.

GAMEWEEK 24 LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Ake, Rodri, Nunes, Doku, Alvarez, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Walker, Grealish, De Bruyne, Silva, Gvardiol, Bobb, Wright, Lewis.

Everton XI: Pickford, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Young, Gueye, Garner, McNeil, Harrison, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Joao Virginia, Patterson, Keane, Onana, Beto, Coleman, Chermiti, Hunt, Dobbin.

  No. Might have more scope later for 4 doubles on BB bench. Can have 4 single game players any week.

    It hardly ever works like that ...
    
    Someone gets injured and misses out.
    
    Taking 4 fit players with decent fixture is always a strong option.

      True. 4 on bench with 1 game more of a risk than doublers maybe. BB always goes sh!+ for me anyways. Used to get it out of the way first half of the season.

    About this approach... you know GW34 is FA Cup SF, right? So we could have e.g. Liverpool & City blanking. Might be possible they do something fancy like move the games to midweek but this depends on factors beyond my understanding... and I'd rather not risk it 37 personally

      I don't look that far ahead Mentaculus. More interested in watching the games than taking FPL seriously.

        Haha fair enough. I can't say I have all the permutations figured out either but it was enough to prompt me into an early BB last week

      Can't play him in 26 so maybe him. Depends on who you bench instead.

  Gametime is the worst time to be on here. Ex professional footballers log on here for them to voice their expert opinions. Not always pleasant.
