Summary of Manchester City's 1:3 victory over Brentford (a hat trick for Phil Foden)/Sport1
Seven games will be played today (Saturday) as part of the 23rd round in the Premier League.
The meeting between champions Manchester City and Everton will kick off the day, then leaders Liverpool will meet Burnley and at the same time Tottenham will host Brighton.
Manchester City - Everton (Sport 1)
Nine consecutive victories in all formats were achieved by the English team, who managed to forget the decline in December and for the first time this season also shows up for games with a full squad.
Manager Pep Guardiola has welcomed back Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Holland, but the Belgian starts on the bench and the Norwegian in attack alongside Duko, Albers and the red-hot Foden.
Away, Everton have not conceded in their last two games, but it is hard to believe that they will be able to repeat the result from their last visit to the Etihad Stadium in December 2022, when they finished 1:1 with the Citizens.
She hopes that Arling Holland does not score his first goal in 2024 and the first since November - it should be noted that in the last two meetings between the two, City scored threes and won, and if they do it again, at least temporarily they will overtake Liverpool and rise to the top.
City can rise to the top, at least temporarily.

the progress of the game
27th minute: First chance for City, it didn't really threaten either.
Duko left two opponents behind by breaking from the left and raising, Holland did not meet the ball well enough - and hit too high.

Liverpool - Burnley (17:00, Sport2)
The leader is expected to enter the match from second place in the table, assuming that Manchester City beat Everton in the game that will open the cycle, but of course a victory will guarantee them at least another week at the top.
Mohamed Salah has not yet recovered from injury and will be absent, as will Thiago Alcantara, who just this week returned to the squad and was injured again, but the Japanese Wataru Ando returned from the Asian Championship and will be available to Klopp, whose team will try to recover from the 3:1 loss to Arsenal on Sunday.
Darwin Nunes is expected to return to the 11 at the expense of Cody Gakpo against the team that lost only to Manchester City in its last three games, but did not take points away from home for about a month and a half and thus remained in second place in the table.
In all five of the last meetings between the two, Liverpool won, but the last time Burnley got a point was at Anfield in July 2020.
Tottenham - Brighton (17:00, Sport1)
The Roosters suffered a dramatic 2:2 from Everton in the previous round and lost two precious points in extra time.
Now the fifth ranked will try to overcome the difficult obstacle in the form of Brighton, who won 2:4 in the first round - already leading by four goals and conceding two late goals in the match held at the end of December.
Star Jung Min Son may return to the lineup given his return on Thursday from the Asian Championship Games, so Brennan Johnson may drop to the bench.
The hot Risherlison will hope to continue the streak of conquests against the Seagulls who defeated Crystal Palace 1:4 in the previous round after being humiliated 4:0 in Luton.
