By Hatty Ruddick

In the first game back after Christmas, table leaders take on 10th place Everton at the Joie. Having won all games since the first week this season and having beat Everton twice, City will be looking to take today. 

City starting 11: Yamashita, Rose, Greenwood, Shaw, Miedema, Hemp, Nicoli, Casparij, Blindkilde Brown, Hasegawa, Knaak

Everton starting 11: Brosnan, Fernandez, Hayashi, Wheeler, Gool, Payne, Vignola, Snoijs, Holmgaard, Mace, Pacheco

The first 15 minutes of the game are dominated with attempts from both teams that are blocked or offside. While in the first half, City's attack and runs are strong, Everton's defence is currently stronger. However a slip from Brosnan as Kerolin hits the back corner. 

Manchester City 1 - 0 Everton

While Everton's defence remains strong against subsequent attempts, they are providing no real challenge to City at present. However, Payne remains strong throughout and is providing the only challenges that City have seen this game. Just when Everton score, the goal is to be disallowed due to a foul by Mace on Yamashita. Just after Snoeijs needs to receive medical attention and is taken off in a stretcher for an injury to her leg. Gago is brought in. 

Change at half-time, Pacheco is off for new loan signing Blundell. After 20 minutes of repeated City attempts that are blocked mainly by Brosnan, Miedema makes it 2 just before she is substituted by Clinton

Manchester City 2 - 0 Everton

Holmgaard is replaced by Kitagawa and van Gool is replaced by Momiki. A yellow card is shown to Greenwood for a foul, just before Wheeler is brought off for Galli. However, this is not enough to bring the three points to Everton as City take the game 2-0.

In the debut game of the 25-26 Subway Cup, City debut Cummings and a debut start for former Red Clinton. Everton aim to start the campaign off against last year's runners up well beating the current campaign in the WSL.

City starting 11: Cummings, Layzell, Rose, Clinton, Coombs, Shaw, Ouahabi, Blindkilde Brown, Beney, Hasegawa, Prior.

Everton starting 11: Ramsey, Ishikawa, Fernandez, Hayashi, van Gool, Ladd, Vignola, Robinson, Stenevik, Momiki, Pacheco

The game starts off with a shot from Shaw that goes too high. City continue with attempts for the first 10 minutes, but Everton particularly Fernandez and Pacheco stop them in their tracks. Until eventually after repeated attempts City get their goal. A first city and first professional goal for Rose. 

Manchester City 1 - 0 Everton

A one on one between Vignola, who has been so impressive this match and Cummings almost ends City's lead, but Beney intercepts. Prior stops an attempt from Ishikawa and Cummings saves Hayashi's attempt. Everton are hungry for this now. A great attempt from Ladd brings Beney and Cummings into a battle which leaves Ladd receiving medical attention and Everton still goalless. Ladd returns to play. An attempt from Robinson comes close but goes too high. Half time finishes with City taking the lead. 

Substitution at half-time for City, Shaw is off for Miedema. Miedema attempts at 54 minutes and Ramsey saves, but on the rebound Hasegawa scores.

Quadruple change for Everton, van Gool off for Payne, Stenvik off for Holmgaard, Robinson off for Wheeler, Ladd off for Mace. Changes for City, Clinton off for Fujino and Ouahabi off for Greenwood.

Momiki goes to bring Everton on the score sheet, as does Mace, but Cummings saves. A yellow is shown to former blue Mace for a bad foul on Fujino. Everton start to make attempts in the final 25 minutes but Cummings and Prior work hard to prevent them. After a couple of attempts, Miedema makes it three!

Manchester City 3 - 0 Everton

Change for Everton, Pacheco is off for Kitagawa. Double change for City in the final 10 minutes, Coombs and Prior off for Thomas and Wienrother, but not before Everton makes it on the scoresheet with a goal from Kitagawa.

A yellow card for Beney to finish the match off for a foul.

In this Easter Sunday clash, 4th in the table Manchester City host 8th in the table Everton. Everton haven't had the best season, but have had some real stand out moments, and will be hoping for one today. City have had some positive news this week with progress in injury recoveries for Hemp, Knaak, Roord, Greenwood, Yamashita and Fujino. The sad news of Fowler's ACL in the week will be heavy in the hearts of fans. Head to head City have beat Everton 25 out of 28 games, however their last meeting was one of 3 losses. Everton will be looking to repeat today, preventing City from getting the Champion's League place for next season.

City Starting 11: Keating, Aleixandri, Coombs, Nicoli, Ouahabi, Park, Casparij, Hasegawa, Knaak, Prior, Murphy

Everton Starting 11: Ramsey, Fernandez, Hayashi, Wheeler, Vanhaevermaet, Payne, S. Holmgaard, Snoijs, Madsen, Stenevik, K. Holmgaard

City dominate possession and attacks in the first 10 minutes. They are called offside early on, and an attack in defended at 9 minutes, but the home side so far are looking the stronger team. Everton have done well to stop City however in their attempts so far. Strong attempt from Park at 11 minutes, saved by Ramsey. Kerolin is stopped in her tracks by Fernandez while Ramsey is out of goal. It would have been a fantastic goal, Fernandez showing fantastic play there. However, it isn't long until City get on the score sheet. A great goal from Casparij and assist from Murphy. The goal dedicated to teammate Mary Fowler.

Manchester City 1 - 0 Everton

The game pauses for Ramsey to get medical treatment, but she remains on. Murphy and Knaak defend well against K. Holmgaard as it goes into a corner for Everton, cleared by Coombs. Yellow card to Park for a foul on S. Holmgaard. Her twin sister Karen gets revenge and gets Everton on the scoresheet, with an assist from Sara.

Manchester City 1 -1 Everton 

Casparij and Park are so close to making it 2-1, but both just go wide at 40 and 42 minutes. A foul which sees Vanhaevermaet on the ground at 43 minutes sees Knaak get a yellow card. City aren't helping themselves into the additional time as Hasegawa and Casparij have no passing options into the box, opening options for Everton. Equal at half-time. 

No changes at half-time. The first real headline from this half is at 56 minutes where K. Holmgaard brings down Kerolin in the box. Fans are calling for a corner at the least, but the majority and the players are calling for a penalty. It is called as a goalkick. It was a penalty in hindsight. Everton are lucky here. Ramsey is stellar in a save against an attempt from Murphy at 56. Madsen is off for Lawley. Layzell is on for Knaak. Snoijs has an attempt that goes over the post just before being replaced with Sarri. Goal scorer K. Holmgaard is off for Hobson. Wienrother is on for Murphy. Layzell is close to getting the goal from a Hasegawa free kick, which goes over the goal. The goal almost comes again for Kerolin, which Ramsey does well to knock off course. Medics are on for a head injury for Aleixandri as she bangs heads with Layzell in an attempt at goal. She is okay to continue. Wheeler does well to block an attempt from Wienrother. Ramsey brings another great save against an attempt from Park. A last minute yellow card for Wheeler before a City free kick. Ramsey has a save in the last second from Kerolin. 

Points are equal at the Joie.
