Snowfall in England led to a plethora of match postponements in the Premier League last weekend, but today's Manchester City-Everton match has been spared and will offer us some entertainment this afternoon (3pm, ESPN2).
U.S. national team goalkeeper Tim Howard will be in net for Everton, but the story of the day will be Carlos Tevez, who will be in the spotlight after submitting a transfer request only to pull it back today. Tevez will have his chance to win back Manchester City fans by leading the Citizens to a win that would put them into first place in the Premier League heading into Christmas.

Enjoy the action.
I see nothing in the Laws of the Game that doesn’t allow you to put the ball back with your knee. The official only needs to decide whether it was deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate.
+100. Brilliant.
A heroic victory by the Toffees! Exciting game.
yeah, this is definitely an odd year that way. Going to hopefully make April and May pretty wild
Depends…how much does he enjoy the sun?
Haha did Everton just win the Champions League there?? Jeezus, it’s a commendable three points away guys, don’t pull a face muscle celebrating…
They won’t have as far to run this year either. The table is so bunched together in the middle, they’re only 5 pts away from a european slot.
How could Landon stay away from Everton after watching a win like that??
I know the bailouts were wide-reaching, but I didn’t know America was going to bailout Everton too.
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Howard 1, Hubris 0. This lethargic waste of talent deserved this result against a blue collar club. This is as happy an upset as you can hope for.
City goes down in flames.
time for the toffees to go on their new years run up the table! And with the addition of Donovan (?), watch out!
Haha, bring it!
I guess Kolo wanted a break over christmas. 2 unbelievable yellow cards, and he’s off.
Great game, great win for everton and Howard… Chicago Fire fan, ill see you guys in our home opener… FCD til i die
YEAHHHHHH!!!!
Justice prevails!! What a win!
damn bilyadentov is a very skilled mid… Everton has a good team, i cant believe they havent won in 7 games
City should be down to 8 men by now, this is ridiculous.
Tight match, this is riveting stuff.
its hard to put him in the 11 when you have Cahill flying through the air.. speaking of flying through the air… Tim Howard save on a wicked Tevez shot
Who was given that card? Was it Barry?
I hope so, you cannot scream at the officials like that. Passionate yelling is understandable, but the City players are out of freaking control.
It is literally EVERY time the ball goes in the box.
I didn’t really have positive or negative feelings toward Man City before this game, but I am feeling just hatred lol
I wondered what bench Saha was hiding on. That being said, he looks great tonight as a hold up player. For his age, he can fly in the air, look at those ups.
