da roleta: Many Everton fans have been left to fume at some early team news ahead of their FA Cup home tie against Manchester City on Saturday evening.
da fezbet: Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match against Pep Guardiola’s men, Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Jordan Pickford, Robin Olsen, James Rodriguez, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Fabian Delph will all not be able to play any part at Goodison Park for the Merseyside club.
It leaves the Toffees a little light in the centre of midfield, while third-choice goalkeeper Joao Virginia will have to be called upon to try and stop what could be a particularly devastating MCFC attack.
Nonetheless, it seems as if a lot of Blues supporters have now given up all hope before the fixture has even started.
