Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a match between Everton and Manchester City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Goodison Park in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via the Mirror): "McCarthy is a player who we have no replacement for in the squad. He's unique in what he brings to the team."
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Manchester Evening News): "We are going to replace Alvaro Negredo because it was the decision that we took in the moment we sold him. We decided to see in December if we needed another striker. We need another striker, so we are going to find which is the best player to bring in."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: One of the few strikers at Pellegrini's disposal on Saturday is Stevan Jovetic. The 25-year-old is proving to be productive, however, entering the weekend with five goals in 11 appearances.
Everton's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Robles; Oviedo, Stones, Jagielka, Coleman; Besic, Barry; Barkley, Naismith, Mirallas; Lukaku
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hart; Clichy, Mangala, Kompany, Zabaleta; Fernandinho, Fernando; Nasri, Silva, Navas; Jovetic
