Man City Team News: Injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Everton

Everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash at Goodison Park on Wednesday

Manchester City will once again have close to a full complement of first-team players for their trip to Everton on Wednesday, meaning Pep Guardiola will be able to further experiment with his starting line-up.

The Catalan picked a midfield-heavy XI for the victory against Arsenal on Sunday, with Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Bernardo Silva all involved, while Fernandinho also stepped up to support from a centre-back position.

Few clubs in Europe are able to match that type of flexibility and Guardiola will have to use it to full effect as he prepares for games against Everton and Chelsea this week.



De Bruyne was substituted late on in the game on Sunday with what appeared to be cramp.

Benjamin Mendy again missed out on the squad as he aims to return from injury, and the best he can hope for is a place on the bench on Wednesday. Vincent Kompany remains out of action, however.

Claudio Bravo, meanwhile, is still out with an Achilles tendon injury.



Neither side have any suspensions.



Despite having mixed things up against Arsenal on Sunday, Guardiola could try a more traditional line-up, although there may be a temptation to use Aymeric Laporte as a left-sided defender again.

David Silva’s form has dipped recently and he could come out of the team, with Bernardo Silva potentially taking his position and Leroy Sane, who missed out at the weekend, coming back in.

Up front it is tempting to suggest Gabriel Jesus could start, but given Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick against Arsenal it seems only fair to include him from the off.



Leighton Baines is out after being taken off in the defeat against Wolves on Saturday, although Lucas Digne is now available again after serving a suspension.

Yerry Mina and Phil Jagielka have both missed matches recently and are also unavailable, while Idrissa Gueye is back for the Toffees.





Kick off is 19:45 GMT (14:45 ET) on Wednesday. It will not be shown on television in the United Kingdom. It will be shown on NBC in the United States, and on various channels around the world.

Messi crowned as highest-paid footballer ahead of Ronaldo & Griezmann

According to the list published by L’Equipe, the Barcelona star earns €8.3 million a month, with the Juventus forward’s salary equalling €4.7m

Lionel Messi’s monthly salary of €8.3 million (£7.3m/$9.5m) makes him the highest-paid footballer in Europe, ahead of the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann and Neymar.

French publication L’Equipe has released its annual report of the top salaries in football and it is no surprise to see the Barcelona and Juventus stars at the very top of the list.

The top 10 is made up entirely of players from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1, with the Bundesliga not having a single representative.

And it’s Messi who leads the way, with Barcelona’s talisman and current top scorer in La Liga earning a reported €8.3m (£7.3m/$9.5m) a month before tax.

Ronaldo, who is in his first year with Juventus, is listed in second place with a salary of €4.7m (£4.1m/$5.3m), just over half of the amount of the Argentine.

Atletico Madrid and France World Cup winner Griezmann follows in third, earning €3.3m (£2.9m/$3.7m) thanks to the new deal that he signed with the club after his decision to snub Barcelona.

Neymar, meanwhile, is fourth with €3.06m (£2.7m/$3.5m) and Messi’s Barca team-mate Luis Suarez completes the top five, earning €2.9m (£2.5m/$3.3m).

Wales international Gareth Bale is sixth on the list, with earnings of €2.5m (£2.2m/$2.8m) at the Bernabeu and he is the sole Real Madrid representative in the top 10.

Barcelona, meanwhile, have three in the top 10 as, in addition to Messi and Suarez, Philippe Coutinho is placed in seventh, earning €2.3m (£2m/$2.6m) after signing with the Liga club from Liverpool in January 2018.

The first Premier League representative is Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez, who earns around $2.28m (£1.99m/$2.58m) per month at Old Trafford and features in eighth in the list.

PSG are once again recognised with Neymar’s team-mate Kylian Mbappe taking home a sum of $1.73m (£1.5m/$2m).

Rounding off the top 10 is another Premier League player in Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil, who is credited with a salary of €1.6m (£1.4m/$1.8m) per month with the Gunners.

The highest-earning Bundesliga player, meanwhile, is Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski, who missed out on the top 10 but earns a €1.33m (£1.2m/$1.5m) monthly salary.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, all five of Ligue 1’s top earners play for PSG, with Edinson Cavani, Thiago Silva, and Angel Di Maria behind both Neymar and Mbappe.
