Everton manager David Moyes has revealed that he will set his team up to frustrate Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
The two teams meet on Saturday afternoon, with the Toffees looking for a second consecutive victory over Roberto Mancini's side.
"At the end of the day it is 11 versus 11 and if we can continue the record of making it hard for them and upsetting them then we will," Moyes told reporters.
"But can you tell me any team who attacks Man City? I went to watch them against Chelsea, the European champions, and I wouldn't say they really attacked them.
"We will try to have a go at them but there are teams maybe better than us who can't do it but we'll go there and try to make it work."
Everton are currently in sixth place in the table following Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Goodison Park.
