It says a lot about the multi-cultural state of the Premier League that there are more Brazilians (3) in the Man City starting XI than there are English players (2). Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden are on the bench.

Everton are almost retro, with eight Englishman in their starting line-up.

It is fair to assume Wayne Rooney's return to the Etihad Stadium will not be greeted warmly by the home fans.

However, Manchester City will be wary of Everton's new old striker.

For during his time at Manchester United, Rooney scored seven goals at the Etihad Stadium in all competitions.

Everton

Everton front man Wayne Rooney has eight Premier League goals against Manchester City. Only Alan Shearer, with 11, has a better record.

Also, Rooney needs just one more goal to become only the second player, after Shearer, to score 200 Premier League goals.

Overhead-kick at the Etihad, anyone?

If Manchester City keep Vincent Kompany fit and he plays in every Premier League game, they will win the Premier League. He is that important. You saw it at the back end of last season.

A bit of a shambles.

City have made an amendment to their original line-up.

They actually make one change from the side that beat Brighton last weekend. Leroy Sane comes in for Danilo on the left.

Everton have brought more energy and legs into midfield with that team selection, but I'm a bit surprised Davy Klaassen isn't playing because when you are coming to the Etihad you need to keep the ball.

But in Tom Davies, Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gueye they have got people who can get around the pitch and go man-to-man with David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne.

It is a solid-looking Everton side.

They are not done just yet.

Last week, Manchester City had an £18m bid for defender Jonny Evans rejected by West Brom.

Talks had been ongoing for the past couple of weeks about the Northern Ireland international, with City having had two offers turned down for a player that West Brom say is not for sale.

Meanwhile, City midfielder Samir Nasri has joined Turkish side Antalyaspor on a two-year contract, for a fee which could rise to 3.5m euros (£3.2m).

The France player, 30, signed from Arsenal for £25m in 2011 and made 129 Premier League appearances, winning two league titles.

Daz: It will all come tumbling down.....

Rezaa Sait: Because of Neymar's price tag, every club will now be doubling their value their star players like Coutinho and Dembele etc.

Bobby: All this talk of boom and bust is wrong. Football is a safe business. 99% of clubs in all four divisions 100 years ago are still in business. Can't say the same for the high street!

Everton

Big news for Everton as record signing Gyfli Sigurdsson starts...

...on the bench. The £45m signing lacks match fitness after missing former club Swansea's pre-season friendlies as talks over his protracted move to Goodison continued.

Ronald Koeman makes four changes from the team which beat Europa League opponents Hajduk Split on Thursday as he switches to a three-man defence.

Skipper Phil Jagielka, Mason Holgate, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies all come in.

Everton XI: Pickford, Keane, Jagielka, Williams, Holgate, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Baines, Davies, Rooney, Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester City

As you were, like legendary City fan Liam Gallagher would say. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola names the same side which started the opening 2-0 win at newly-promoted Brighton.

City XI: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Stones, Otamendi, Danilo, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero, Jesus.

Laura Bradburn: If the money is there, it's going to be spent. Yes it's obscene but can't blame clubs and players - we're putting it there!

Gregory Mandapat‏: The big clubs spend early on overpriced top talent. The smaller clubs wait till the end of the window to do business with less.

Patrick Hallam‏: Potential problem of big spending is a big crash. Boom then bust. Fans would end up paying for it.

Team news from Etihad Stadium will be with you in five minutes.

Will Everton give a debut to club-record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson?

Leon Osman
Ex-Everton midfielder on Football Focus

Manchester City have such an expensive team and have got Pep Guardiola as manager. So much money has been spent on the stadium that the owners will expect a return. With the players available they will score lot of goals this season.

Tee-J‏: As long as it's not my money they're spending, I couldn't care less if the football gets better! Especially as a #MCFC, external fan!

Dave Wathall: People have to understand if you flood a market with money the players value doesn't increase the value of the money decreases

Maciej Czubak: Amount of money is relative. It's the imbalance between teams' budgets that makes PL too predictable.

City or Everton win?

Some may say it is obscene amounts of money, others will say it is a part of football now.

Where is the money coming from? Should it be allowed? Is FFP working? Does anyone even know what FFP is?

Manchester City mean business this season, having spent an eye-watering £215m on new acquisitions to snatch back the Premier League title.

Opponents Everton, though, want a slice of the action, shelling out over £140m themselves in order to try and break the top-flight's monopoly.

Will the Toffees pass go and collect the three points tonight, or will Kompany and co prove to be too electric?

Welcome to Monday football.
