Manchester City missed the victory against Everton in the last round and recorded only a draw - 1: 1. Citizens took the lead at "Goodison Park", but the error of Joe Hart deprives them from the deserved success. After this, Manchester City remains 2 points behind the leaders Chelsea on the second place in the standings of the Premier League. Now for the boys of Manuel Pellegrini there are two key games, which will give an important indication of their season. First is the household at the "Etihad" with Arsenal and then the derby with Chelsea at "Stamford Bridge" as a guest.

Both are with the national team of Cote d`Ivoire and will represent their country in the Cup of African Nations. Sergio Aguero returns after the break against Everton.

Captain Vincent Kompany will lead his team after he was not available to the coaching staff with Everton.
