Eriksson has options

Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has close to a full-strength squad to choose from for Monday’s Premier League clash with Everton.

Key pair Elano and Vedran Corluka are both available again after missing City’s derby win at Manchester United two weeks ago through suspension.

Midfielder Michael Johnson is also back in contention after returning to training following a two-month lay-off with an abdominal injury.

His return means summer signing Valeri Bojinov, who underwent a knee operation earlier in the season, is now City’s only absentee – but he too is now back in training.

Team (from): Hart, Onuoha, Richards, Dunne, Ball, Vassell, Ireland, Hamann, Jihai, Elano, Corluka, Fernandes, Petrov, Garrido, Benjani, Caicedo, Geovanni, Johnson, Mpenza, Sturridge, Etuhu, Isaksson.
