Guardiola gave an update on Haaland's current status, stating that he still hasn't joined the team due to his foot injury. Although his bone is improving, Haaland has yet to participate in any of the team's training sessions. Guardiola acknowledged that the upcoming months of December and January will be hectic due to the large number of teams competing, but he remains hopeful that Haaland will be able to make a comeback and rejoin his teammates in January.
It has been said that Ruben Dias is unwell, possibly due to overeating turkey and other foods.
Gary Naylor sent an email stating that the fans at Goodison Park recognized that Dominic Calvert-Lewin required some time off. Although he hasn't scored many goals lately, he has been working very hard on the pitch. He consistently makes clever runs, and isn't afraid to challenge opposing defenders throughout the match. Some supporters unjustly singled him out during the confusion surrounding former manager Frank Lampard's departure, which was a regrettable occurrence. However, no one would be opposed to Calvert-Lewin sitting on the bench tonight.
Jack Grealish expressed his satisfaction with the game. Recently, our team may not have been performing up to par in the league, therefore winning and solidifying our status as the best team in the world is a great sensation.
Tonight's match is going to be quite challenging. They are currently one of the strongest teams in the league, and we are aware of this fact. Although we managed to win against them last year, we had to put in a lot of effort.
There are experts on Amazon who are disapproving of previous managers of Everton because they threw away money. However, it is unlikely that they are referring to Roberto Martinez who signed Oumar Niasse for a whopping £13.5 million.
Dyche gave his opinion on Beto, stating that it usually takes time to adjust to playing in the Premier League. He believes that Beto has much more potential and is open to learning, but admits that he is still inexperienced. Dyche praises Beto's drive to make a difference, as well as his physical prowess and speed. He acknowledges that Beto's raw talent can work to their benefit and predicts that the team can capitalize on it.
Sean Dyche announced that Calvert-Lewin is taking a break from playing due to having a very busy schedule recently.
Sink your teeth into this.
The game is beginning without Haaland on the field due to his injury, which is unfortunate for No 9. Additionally, Calvert-Lewin for Everton is not starting and will be on the bench. In my opinion, this is a greater disadvantage for Everton compared to City.
The starting team for Everton is made up of Pickford in the goalpost, Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, and Mykolenko as defenders, and Harrison, Gomes, Onana, Garner, and McNeil playing as midfielders while Beto takes the role of the striker. Sitting on the bench are Virginia, Keane, Calvert-Lewin, Danjuma, Godfrey, Coleman, Chermiti, Hunt, and Dobbin.
Erling Haaland has a remarkable talent for football, as clearly highlighted by Niall McVeigh in his analysis.
At Goodison Park, Everton will welcome the reigning world champions. It's quite an event for everyone present. But it's not the first time that the world's top team has impressed the fans at the Gwladys Street End. In 1966, Brazil competed in all three group games at the stadium. Unfortunately, the team lost two games and was eliminated before the knockout stage.
We may not have the likes of Pele, Garrincha, or Tostao on our team. However, we do have Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Rodri, provided that they are in good shape. City's current form is not much different from that of Brazil in 1966, despite their win in Saudi Arabia. Winning only once in their last six Premier League matches, City needs to pull off their socks if they are going to compete for the championship.
Compared to others, Everton is doing really well lately. Even though they lost their previous game against Spurs, it's hard to say why. Before that, they had won all four games without letting the other team score. Sean Dyche, the manager of Burnley, enjoys making things hard for teams with more money, which is why tonight's game is going to be very interesting.
Cheers to a fantastic day!
