Dabo back for City

Ousmane Dabo returns from suspension as Manchester City look to end of a run of 10 defeats in their last 11 away games by beating Everton at Goodison Park.

The Frenchman is expected to start in a five-man City midfield which could feature fellow new arrival Hatem Trabelsi, who has been battling to overcome a groin strain which has kept him out of the Blues last two games.

If Trabelsi does not make it, teenager Ishmael Miller is likely to keep his place but striker Georgios Samaras could be dropped despite his two goals against West Ham last weekend.

Team (from): Weaver, Hart, Distin, Dunne, Jordan, M Mills, Richards, Trabelsi, Barton, Dabo, Hamann, Ireland, Reyna, Miller, Beasley, Sinclair, Corradi, Dickov, Samaras.
