Squad sheets: Manchester City v Everton

It was suggested when Carlos Tevez handed in his transfer request that the Argentinian might have played his last game for Manchester City, but Roberto Mancini expects the striker to feature against Everton. City will certainly want to have their top scorer available against a side who have not conceded a goal on their past three visits to Eastlands, though Everton too will be fretting about where the goals are going to come from if not from Tim Cahill, who has eight of their 18 league goals to date.
