Injured Ederson to miss Everton trip as Man City focus on Champions League spot

Pep Guardiola has confirmed goalkeeper Ederson will miss Manchester City’s final trip to Goodison Park but Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji are pushing to return against Everton.

Champions League qualification is the focus at the end of a challenging season that has seen their unprecedented run of Premier League successes end after four straight crowns.

Fifth-placed City continue that charge on Saturday afternoon at Everton, where goalkeeper Ederson will be absent after coming off with a groin issue in last weekend’s thrilling 5-2 turnaround against Crystal Palace.
