UPDATED: Manchester City 3 v Everton 1: Sterling Scores With First Touch

MANCHESTER – Manchester City and Everton starting teams for the early kick-off in the English Premier League on Saturday.

UPDATE: Manchester City have taken a 3-1 lead over Everton after Raheem Sterling came off the bench to score with his first touch of the game. Jesus has a brace of Man City, while Calvert-Lewin scored Everton’s only goal.

Pep Guardiola makes three changes to his Manchester City side for today’s clash, as the champions seek to bounce back from the defeat to Chelsea last weekend. Live streaming is on NBCSports.com and NBC Sports Network will have live television coverage.
