City's Elite Development Squad will aim to consolidate their position at the top of the Barclays Premier Reserve League (Group A) as they take on struggling Everton this evening.

Andy Welsh’s side will look to make it back-to-back wins after the 1-0 victory over Bolton last week and move clear of second-placed Newcastle.

The Blues will have Reece Wabara and Frederic Veseli at the heart of the defence with Abdul Razak taking his place in midfield and leading scorer John Guidetti will be looking to add to his 12-goal haul for the campaign so far.

City’s team is: Johansen, Logan, Vidal, Kay, Wabara, Veseli, Mancini, Razak, Guidetti, Chantler, McDermott. Subs: Bunn, Karius, Elabdellaoiu, Meppen-Walter, Kennedy

The game will be played at The Stobart Stadium, kick off 7pm.
