Raheem Sterling, unsurprisingly, is getting booed by the home fans each time he touches the ball.

Sergio Aguero is carrying on from where he left off against Chelsea. Moments after forcing Tim Howard into the first save of the match, Aguero spotted something in the crowd and summoned medical staff to attend to a fan.

David Silva is already weaving his magic on the edge of the Everton area and a pass from the Spaniard rebounds into the path of Sergio Aguero whose vicious shot from an angle is kept out by Tim Howard's leg.

The players are in the tunnel. Chatter between Everton skipper Phil Jagielka and his England team-mate and Manchester City keeper Joe Hart.

Hart taps the back of Vincent Kompany's head before yelling 'more magic David (Silva), more magic'.

Amid all the talk of Manchester City's fine start to the season, when was the last time Everton looked down on the rest in the Premier League?

It was only last weekend that fans staged a fly-past protest against chairman Bill Kenwright and the Toffees board.

Yet three points against Manchester City will be enough to see the Toffees end the third weekend of the season in first position.

Will he break the duck later?

The heavens have opened above Goodison Park and the floodlights are on. A lovely summer's afternoon on Merseyside this is not.

Manchester City's medical staff have just wrapped a couple of plasters around Yaya Toure's finger. 

They were stylish on the field as they dismantled Southampton last week and Everton are pretty stylish off it too...judging by the cover of today's match programme. Liking it...

"If John Stones is the slightest bit discontented by the ongoing speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea, he is doing a very good job of disguising it.

"He was all smiles when he arrived at Goodison Park, greeting staff warmly and looking completely relaxed.

"The debate will continue as Chelsea weigh up that fourth bid and he will have the perfect opportunity to display his quality in attempting to quell the threat of Manchester City's Sergio Aguero here at Goodison Park."

Half an hour to kick-off. It's an overcast Goodison Park and Sergio Aguero and his Manchester City players are out on the pitch warming up in tracksuit tops. Raheem Sterling is looking relaxed on his return to Merseyside. Will the former Liverpool striker open his Premier League goal account for his new club against Everton?

"The old motto. When at Everton eat Everton Mints - and more importantly watch a game that the home side have enjoyed over the recent years when facing Manchester City.

"Everton's spirits soared with a fine 3-0 win at Southampton last weekend but City were magnificent when dismissing champions Chelsea by the same score on Sunday."

What an achievement this would be if Manchester City can pull it off...

Could this be John Stones's last Goodison Park appearance for Everton?

Not according to Toffees boss Roberto Martinez, who says the club will not sell the Chelsea target even if he hands in a transfer request.

The transfer window closes on 1 September, and Martinez adds: "In a saga of I don't know how many weeks now, we are very clear."

In the meantime, Stones is making his 50th start for the club since joining from Barnsley in January 2013.

So, no Nicolas Otamendi in Manchester City's 18. Manager Manuel Pellegrini hinted at his pre-match news conference on Friday that the club's £32m signing from Valencia would be on the bench following last week's 3-0 win over Chelsea.

But it has since been reported, external that Otamendi cannot be involved at Goodison Park as he has not got a work permit yet.

Unsurprisingly, Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini sticks with the same 11 that started the 3-0 demolition of Chelsea last time out.

Everton are also unchanged from the side that defeated Southampton 3-0  at St Mary's on 15 August.
