GOODISON PARK, LIVERPOOL — Everton welcome Manchester City for a Premier League clash that could have huge ramifications at both ends of the table.

With four games left to play, a superior goal difference to nearest rivals Arsenal means Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions realistically need a maximum of eight points to claim their fifth title in six seasons.

Mikel Arteta’s Gunners a point behind City having played a game more and will be hoping for a favour from Everton before they face Brighton and Hove Albion later on Sunday.

Brighton can point to the potential perils City face today, having been turned over in a stunning 5-1 defeat against Everton last time out. That moved Sean Dyche’s side out of the bottom three and they lie 17th, a point and a place above the relegation zone.

Kevin De Bruyne dropped to the bench for City after his midweek goalscoring heroics in Madrid, while Erling Haaland started. Mason Holgate replaced the absent Vitalii Mykolenko in Everton’s only change.

Everton vs Man City live updates, highlights from the Premier League

30 mins from kickoff: One of the post-game talking points after Real Madrid 1-1 Man City was whether Antonio Rudiger had found a template when it comes to nullifying Erling Haaland. The former Chelsea man approached all his defensive work on the front foot and relished the physical battle with the hulking Norweigan. You’d think Yerry Mina, restored to form and fitness under Dyche, will take a very similar approach this afternoon. The recently crowned FWA Footballer of the Year could have a battle on his hands.

50 mins from kickoff: And this is how the Everton team looks. One change from midweek as Mason Holgate replaces Vitalii Mykolenko, who is presumably injured as he’s not in the matchday 18. That probably means out-of-position detail at leftback for Holgate against Riyad Mahrez, who will be trying to secure a start for City against Madrid. All the very best!

1 hr from kickoff: The teams are in!

1 hr 20 mins from kickoff: They’re serving braised beef in the Goodison media room today and Pep Guardiola has beef with the Eurovision song contest. Well, that’s overstating it a little, but the City boss would have rathered this was a Saturday game to allow an extra day of preparation for Madrid.

But Liverpool’s hosting of the all-singing, all-dancing (literally) jamboree meant that was not possible on security grounds. As such, there will be a little more than the usual curiosity over the Guardiola teamsheet that will drop in around 20 minutes.

It sounds like Erling Haaland will start, on Dixie Dean’s manor, no less. “He had a really intense game in Madrid, he could not have done if he was tired,” Guardiola said on Friday. “I would say yeah, he can go a while, I think it’s fine.”

1 hr 40 mins from kickoff: The equation for Manchester City is relatively simple. On account of an advantage to the tune of 14 on goal difference, Pep Guardiola’s side realistically need eight points from their remaining Premier League games to claim a fifth title in six seasons.

A win at Goodison Park against an Everton side scrapping for their lives would take out a sizeable chunk of that. If City win and Arsenal lose later in the day against Brighton, the champions can get the job done when they host Chelsea next weekend.

Where it gets more complicated is this game’s placement in the middle of a Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid. City are fighting for honours on three fronts and Madrid are in Manchester on Wednesday following this week’s titanic battle at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Talking of the midweek action, Everton ripped up the form book to demolish Brighton 5-1 and move out of the relegation zone. From looking doomed, a positive result here would bring survival tantalisingly within reach for Sean Dyche’s side. This famous old stadium will be rocking come 2 p.m.

2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of Everton versus Manchester City at Goodison Park on another big afternoon at both ends of the Premier League table.

Everton vs Man City lineups

Dyche will know that even a point in this match could be vital for Everton’s survival hopes, but it is likely that he will stick to a back four instead of a more defensive formation.

Mason Holgate replaced left-back Vitalii Mykolenko in the Toffee’s only change from the Brighton win. The Ukraine international is absent from the matchday 18.

Everton lineup (4-3-3): Pickford (GK) — Patterson, Mina, Tarkowski, Holgate — Garner, Doucoure, Gueye — Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, McNeil

Guardiola rested Kevin De Bruyne on the bench after his Santiago Bernabeu heroics but Kyle Walker and Erling Haaland were among those starting who you presume will have big roles against Madrid on Wednesday.

Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez can all press their claims for a more prominent role in the second leg having been unused substitutes in training . Nathan Ake is back in training after a muscular injury but is not part of Guardiola’s matchday squad.

Man CIty lineup (4-1-4-1): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Akanji, Dias, Laporte — Rodri — Mahrez, Alvarez, Gundogan, Foden — Haaland
