If you like your pre-match build-up to be unashamedly City focused, then We’re Not Really Here is a must-watch.
The show begins at 19:00 (UK) - one hour before we kick-off against the Toffees - and resumes at half-time for brief analysis on the opening 45 minutes.
Five minutes after full-time, We’re Not Really Here will be live for half an hour of post-match discussion, when Lescott, Dunne and Morrison will provide the benefit of their expertise and respond to the fans’ Man of the Match poll, questions, and comments.
Time permitting, we will also hear a player’s reaction and watch Pep Guardiola’s post-match press conference.
We’re Not Really Here is available to watch on all of our official digital platforms, whilst during the game there will be live commentary and footage of fans around the world, which you can enjoy exclusively on mancity.com and our official app.
Guardiola was delighted with the contribution of both players but - previewing Monday’s trip to Everton, which takes place 48 hours after the Newcastle win - highlighted the importance of rest and recovery.
Asked for an update on the health of his squad, withKyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus absent having tested positive for COVID-19, he replied: “The rest are well.”
“We did better away [so far] this season but there is only one reason: if we had our supporters behind us at Goodison Park, we’d have won more games.
“We are pleased, we won a lot of games, this is the fifth game we won away this season and this is really good
“We don’t have to look [at the future] too much, we have another game in two days and have to try to do our best to prepare for this game.
“It is almost impossible but we have to try.”
LAST MEETING
The last time we met with the Toffees came on New Years’ Day as a second half Gabriel Jesus braced proved enough to secure all three points at the Etihad Stadium.
Phil Foden thought he had given City the lead in the first half after he tapped in a Riyad Mahrez cross, however VAR ruled the Algerian was offside in the build-up.
Into the second half and City’s patience finally paid off when Jesus picked up the ball on the edge of the box and curled an effort past Jordan Pickford to put Guardiola‘s side ahead.
Minutes later Jesus and City had a second as the Brazilian capped off a wonderful team move by sliding the ball in at the back post to deservedly double our lead.
The visitors did pull one back in the final stages, but it proved too little too late for the Toffees.
