Man City (from): Hart, Onuoha, Richards, Dunne, Ball, Vassell, Ireland, Hamann, Jihai, Elano, Corluka, Fernandes, Petrov, Garrido, Benjani, Caicedo, Geovanni, Johnson, Mpenza, Sturridge, Etuhu, Isaksson.

Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has close to a full-strength squad to choose from. Elano and Vedran Corluka are both available again after missing City's derby win at Manchester United two weeks ago through suspension. Midfielder Michael Johnson is also back in contention after returning to training following a two-month lay-off with an abdominal injury. His return means summer signing Valeri Bojinov, who underwent a knee operation earlier in the season, is now City's only absentee - but he too is now back in training.

Everton (from): Howard, Hibbert, Neville, Jagielka, Yobo, Lescott, Valente, Baines, Arteta, Carsley, Osman, Cahill, Fernandes, Pienaar, Johnson, Yakubu, Anichebe, Vaughan, Wessels.

Joseph Yobo will return to Everton's squad for the clash with Manchester City at Eastlands having been left out of the UEFA Cup triumph over Brann on Thursday. Yobo was on two bookings in Europe and another caution would have ruled him out of David Moyes' side's next match in the competition. He also had flu, and Moyes opted not to take any risks with the Nigerian defender. Mikel Arteta is struggling with a slight problem regarding the groin injury that kept him out of the first-leg of the tie last week but that did not stop him completing the 6-1 victory over the Norwegians this week.
