It's a balmy evening on Merseyside, a perfect time for a kickabout down the Park as the sun drops out of the hazy clouds and descends towards the Mersey.

Everton will hope the sun doesn't go down on their Premier League status, but sit three points ahead of 18th-placed Burnley and they are facing an almost full-strength Leicester, many of whom were rested on the weekend.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's omission may cause concerns among Everton fans ahead of the Merseyside derby on Sunday. The striker is missing from the squad after picking up an injury in training, although his last goal was in August.

Manchester City

Man City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking about Ruben Dias who has been out with a hamstring injury since 1 March: "He is already on the bench and doing much better. It has been seven weeks out. But he is ready."

On Brighton: "I expect the best of them. I always expect the best of any opponent. We especially expect the best from ourselves. I like almost everything [about Brighton]. They have the courage to play, it doesn't matter where, with their own personality and football."

Romelu Lukaku will be desperate to show his worth as he gets a start for Chelsea at home to Arsenal. The £97.5m striker has had an unhappy time since his summer move back to Stamford Bridge and all the evidence suggests he still has much to do to convince manager Thomas Tuchel.

This is a big chance for him.

Everton

Everton boss Frank Lampard has confirmed Dominic Calvert-Lewin suffered an injury in training that has ruled him out of tonight's game against Leicester and Sunday's Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield.

"Dominic felt a small sensation in his quad in training," said Lampard.

"We scanned it and it’s 10 days to two weeks, unfortunately, so we’ll miss him for these next couple of games, for sure. He’ll possibly be back for Chelsea."

As if things weren't bad enough for Everton. News of an injury to a key player.

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking to Sky Sports: "Every game we play to win and we try to find the best way to win the game.

"I expect a tough game against the champions of the Champions League. We will have to be at our best.

"We will have periods we will suffer against this team. We must play with certainty and courage like we always do."

On Alexandre Lacazette, who recently recovered from Covid: "Lacazette is only available for a few minutes. He could only train for a short time and he wasn't feeling particularly well but he wanted to be available to help the team."

David Ljungren: Finally, Keane is dropped from the Everton defence after a season of struggles. That should improve their chances.

Man City make six changes to the side that lost the FA Cup semi-final 3-2 to Liverpool.

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel speaking to Sky Sports, on a start for striker Romelu Lukaku: "You were asking so much about him so I finally put him in! Kai Havertz is overloaded so it was the moment to go with Romelu."

On whether Lukaku's performance against Arsenal in the reverse fixture, in which he scored, led to this start: "A little bit. If you have a good experience, a good memory against an opponent it can help. It was not the main reason - he deserves to play first of all and Kai is a bit tired. Also a little bit that he had a good game in the first match."

On the schedule: "It's always like this. We are used to playing a lot. It means you play for something. It is challenging to go from competition to competition and all the challenges that comes with it, but it is a good sign, it is a reward."

It's just not happening for Romelu Lukaku at the moment. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says the striker needs to find "that one spark" to get back to his best, having started just two of Chelsea's past 13 matches.

The Belgium international has not scored in the league since December.

"After period of injury he [Lukaku] lacks simply the fitness for matches, which is not pointing the finger it's just a fact," Tuchel said this week.

"It's not his fault. I don't think he really needs inspiration. What he needs is maybe that one moment, that one spark."

So Romelu Lukaku starts for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel has had plenty to say about the £97.5m striker who is without a Premier League goal in 2022.

Every Liverpool fan is a Brighton supporter for the next few hours, right?

The Seagulls arrive at Manchester City on the back of a fine 1-0 win at Tottenham last weekend.

In addition, it is not that long ago that they beat Pep Guardiola's side.

Second-half goals by Leandro Trossard, Adam Webster and Dan Burn saw them come from 2-0 behind to seal a dramatic 3-2 home victory last May.
