Manchester City have been off to a flying start to the season, sitting atop the Premier League table thanks largely to the ministrations of their new manager, Pep Guardiola. But their opponents this weekend are off to a strong start as well, with new Everton boss, Ronald Koeman, leading them to a surprising charge up the table.

Everton have been a delightful team to watch this season, with Koeman’s style and the hot form of Romelu Lukaku inspiring them to a string of impressive, high-flying performances that drew the attention and admiration of many. They’ve had a couple of recent stumbles, but Everton and their attack look like they could present a real challenge to the occasionally shaky defense that Manchester City bring to bear.
Of course, City’s own attack might be about to get a big boost, with news that it’s possible Kevin De Bruyne can return from his injury this weekend. Their attack has been dearly missing his exceptional playmaking skills while he’s been out, contributing to their own recent struggles in a loss to Tottenham before the international break, and a shocking draw to Celtic in the Champions League. If De Bruyne really is back, Everton might not have the defensive chops in midfield to keep him contained -- but they can still apply enough attacking pressure of their own to really make a game of it.
