Now they are six points behind Arsenal and really need a win on their first trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2274487855.jpg\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE\"\/>(Getty)<\/p>\n<p>Richard Jolly, at the Hill Dickinson Stadium4 May 2026 19:13<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#post-2362220\" class=\"sc-1wyow5i-1 earWyi\"><\/a>David Moyes seeks first-ever win over Pep Guardiola<\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a favour from his former boss David Moyes tonight.

Man City beat Everton 2-0 earlier this season. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2241802079.jpg\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE\"\/>(Getty)<\/p>\n<p>Jamie Braidwood4 May 2026 19:10<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#post-2362302\" class=\"sc-1wyow5i-1 earWyi\"><\/a>Everton without Idrissa Gueye<\/p>\n<p>The experienced Everton midfielder misses out, with Merlin Rohl making just his third Premier League start.
