Everton and Manchester City meet at Goodison Park for the final time this weekend.

The Toffees will move into a brand new home next season, leaving their longtime home for a state-of-the-art venue. But before they head to greener pastures, they must finish a Premier League season that has seen them rise from early relegation candidates to a midtable side under David Moyes.

Everton even have an outside chance at European football next season, but they will need to maximise their results for the unlikely scenario to occur.

As for City, they are fifth heading into the weekend and look to hold onto the Champions League spot they currently occupy.
