Everton host Manchester City on Wednesday night in the Premier League – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are urging manager to play Josh King.

The Toffees welcome Man City tonight to Goodison Park, where they will be classed as underdogs.

Ancelotti’s side are sat seventh in the league table and know a win will take them level on points with Liverpool, but opponents Man City are seven points clear at the top of the division and in stunning form.

It’s been confirmed that Everton are without star centre-forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin in midweek, which is a huge blow considering he’s scored 18 goals in all competitions this season.

That leaves the manager with a big decision to make with his team selection in attack.

A selection of Everton supporters on social media have made it clear they want to see King given his first start.

The £45,000-a-week (Spotrac) attacker joined the Merseyside club in January on loan from Championship club Bournemouth.

His three appearances so far have come from the bench, but the 29-year-old does have plenty of top-flight experience in his career and could perhaps fill the striker void during the absence of Calvert-Lewin.

He’s previously scored 48 goals in 164 Premier League matches.

Here are some Everton fans claiming King should start against Man City:
