Match Officials: Tony Harrington to referee Manchester City vs Everton | OneFootball

Manchester City will welcome Everton to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they return to competitive club action following the October international break.

Pep Guardiola returns to club duties with his Manchester City side closing in on full strength, and appears to have returned from the latest round of international action without any injuries or fitness issues to contend with.

City are currently on a fine run of form, entering the latest international break off the back of a well-earned 0-1 win away to a challenging Brentford outfit and remain unbeaten since the end of August.

In that time, there have been a number of notable results in addition to the victory at the Gtech Community Stadium, including a 3-0 win over Manchester United, a 1-1 draw away at Arsenal, and a 2-0 win at home to Napoli on matchday one of the UEFA Champions League.

The latest block of fixtures until the November break will see more rounds of Premier League action including a home clash with Liverpool, the fourth round of the Carabao Cup away to Swansea, and Champions League meetings with Villarreal and Borussia Dortmund.
