To the tie with Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola makes four changes, starting Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte, and Julian Alvarez. John Stones, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish withdraw. Erling Haaland actually begins.
The lone alteration for Everton from their remarkable 5-1 victory against Brighton is the substitution of Mason Holgate for Vitalii Mykolenko. In his previous game at fullback against Wilfried Zaha, Holgate received two yellow cards and was dismissed.
With two goals and an assist, Ilkay Gundogan once again shone for Manchester City as they defeated Everton 3-0 to increase their lead over Arsenal in the Premier League championship battle to four points. Another example of why Pep Guardiola is keen for the 32-year-old to extend his contract with the club through its expiration this summer occurred at Goodison Park.

His first goal, which broke Everton’s resistance after 37 minutes, was breath-taking. Soon after, he switched roles and crossed the ball for Erling Haaland to score with only his third touch of the game. On minute 51, a superb free kick by Gundogan put an end to the game.
Moments earlier, Everton came within a whisker of taking the lead when Mason Holgate narrowly missed converting at the back post from a corner and James Tarkowski struck the crossbar from another set-piece. However, a difficult afternoon was made worse by the forced exit of crucial player Dominic Calvert-Lewin at halftime. They continue to be in 17th place, only one point above the drop zone.
With 11 straight victories in this tournament, City is currently just a few wins away from clinching the Premier League championship. If they triumph in their last two games, they may be crowned on May 24 in Brighton. The second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid is on Wednesday at the Etihad, so they must first return to European issues.
