This is Manchester City's only home fixture in October
Everton have not beaten City since a 4-0 Premier League victory in January 2017
Recommended bet: Phil Foden to score at any time
Manchester City lost two of their first three Premier League matches this season but Pep Guardiola's men have responded well to those early setbacks against Tottenham and Brighton.
City's 1-0 victory at Brentford before the international break stretched their unbeaten run to seven games and they are hot favourites to take three points at home to Everton on Saturday.
The Toffees have made a solid start but much of their attacking inspiration has come from City loanee Jack Grealish, who cannot play against his parent club at the Etihad Stadium.

Team news
City are set to be missing the injured Rodri, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Abdukodir Khusanov. Mateo Kovacic is fit again and could start in central midfield. Forward Omar Marmoush will be assessed.
Everton's City loanee Grealish is ineligible to play against his parent club. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall returns from a one-match ban. Centre-back Michael Keane (rib) is a doubt but Jarrad Branthwaite is closing in on a return to action.

Prediction
Everton ended Crystal Palace's 19-match unbeaten run before the international break and they are aiming to snap another long sequence when they travel to Man City.
The Toffees have not won any of their last 17 matches against the Citizens since a 4-0 rout of Pep Guardiola's side at Goodison Park in January 2017.
Everton's back three of Ashley Williams, Mason Holgate and Ramiro Funes Mori stood firm against City stars Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Raheem Sterling that day but their current crop face a daunting task on Saturday.
City striker Haaland has made a sensational start to the campaign, scoring 21 goals in 12 appearances for club and country.
Five of those goals have come in his last three home games against Manchester United, Napoli and Burnley and he also scored the only goal at Brentford last time out.
The absence of City loanee Grealish is a huge blow for Everton as he has added real zest to their attacking play this season.
Like Grealish, City forward Phil Foden was overlooked by England manager Thomas Tuchel for this week's World Cup qualifier against Latvia.
Foden needs to rediscover his best form at club level if he is to make the World Cup squad and he scored in last month's derby win over Manchester United and fired in five shots at Brentford.
He has found the net in four of his last eight league appearances against Everton and could take advantage as the visiting defenders focus their attention on Haaland.
