Manchester City v Everton live stream, Sunday 21 November, 2pm GMT
Manchester City will be looking to build on their victory in the Manchester derby when Everton visit the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s side had a positive weekend before the international break. Not only did they manage to beat their local rivals 2-0 without breaking sweat, the champions also benefited from Liverpool and Chelsea dropping points – the latter unexpectedly. City remain three points adrift of the Blues in top spot, but some of their recent performances have been ominous for their fellow title challengers.
Having said that, City have sometimes struggled to break down visitors to the Etihad Stadium who sit deep and play on the counter-attack. Crystal Palace have been much more proactive under Patrick Vieira this season, but it was their defensive organisation and sharp transitions which brought them a 2-0 victory at the Etihad last month. Southampton previously succeeded in frustrating City on their own patch, holding them to a 0-0 draw in September.
Rafael Benitez prides himself on his ability to create hard-to-beat teams who can make life difficult for superior opponents. Yet although Everton were probably the better team in a 0-0 draw with Tottenham before the break, they have not won any of their last five matches. If the Toffees concede early to City, this could be another difficult afternoon for Benitez.
Everton have been unfortunate with injuries in recent weeks and they remain without several players for Sunday’s trip to Manchester. Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin remain on the treatment table, while Mason Holgate is suspended. Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes could be included in the matchday squad.
Manchester City will be unable to call upon the services of Ferran Torres, Kevin De Bruyne and Liam Delap, while Jack Grealish will need to be assessed ahead of kick-off. Aymeric Laporte is available again after serving a one-match ban.
Kick-off is at 2pm GMT on Sunday 21 November and you can watch the game live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
