Big games like the one at the weekend rarely pass without huge bones of contention.
Chelsea felt that they should have had an equaliser at a crucial point in the game and The Special One was very annoyed after the game.
But that was possibly all something of a smoke screen.
Because Manchester City were, at times, irresistible on Sunday.
If last season was best forgotten they aree full of promise this season and may well spend another £80m before the end of the window on Nicolas Otamendi and Kevin de Brunye – quite frankly it’s frightening.
And this team isn’t yet fully in its stride. So expect a very strong title challenge from Manchester City this season.
Fernando and Fabian Delph are the only to injury concerns at this point and Manchester City will need to out a strong team out because Goodison Park is one of the most difficult places to take the points from.
But, after performing so well against their big rivals, there is no reason to change this formula. That means that Sagna should keep his place ahead of Zabaleta and Kolarov remains on the left flank.
So here is our Manchester City team to face Everton.
City fans: any changes for you?
