Sat Apr 19 13:10:00 UTC 2025: ## City Aim for Goodison Farewell Victory Despite Injury Crisis
**Liverpool, England** – Manchester City will face Everton at Goodison Park today in what could be their final match at the historic stadium before Everton’s move to a new ground next season. City, riding a five-game unbeaten streak, will be aiming for a three-point victory despite a significant injury blow.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be without key players Erling Haaland, Rodri, Nathan Aké, John Stones, and goalkeeper Ederson (groin injury), whose absence remains uncertain. However, Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji have returned to training and are available for selection, though named on the bench for today’s game.
Guardiola has made four changes to the starting eleven that defeated Crystal Palace last weekend. Stefan Ortega replaces the injured Ederson in goal, while Matheus Nunes, Savinho, and Bernardo Silva also come into the team.
**City’s Starting XI:** Ortega; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Nico, Gundogan, De Bruyne (C); Savinho, Bernardo Silva, Marmoush.
The match promises to be a tough encounter against a resilient Everton side. City will need to replicate the second-half dominance they showed against Crystal Palace to secure all three points in this potentially emotional farewell to Goodison Park.
