Armstrong and Long’s strikes inflicted a 13th loss of the season on the Toffees, leaving them in 16th place with 22 points from 23 matches.
Lampard’s men have lost 2 of their last 3 fixtures in the league and hope for a turnaround as they remain perilously close to the drop zone.
On the other hand, Manchester City lost 2-3 at home to Tottenham Hotspur in their previous clash, opening up the title race for Liverpool.
This was their 1st loss after 14 matches across competitions since a 2-1 away loss to Leipzig in the UCL in December.
Kulusevski broke the deadlock before Gundogan equalized before Half time. Kane and Mahrez scored in either half to make it 2-2 as the game went into extra time.
Kane once again stepped up in stoppage time to inflict a third league defeat on City this season and do the double over them.
However, City remain at the top of the table but had their lead cut down to 3 points.
Both sides met earlier this season in November, where Manchester City won 3-0 at home.

Everton possible 11:
Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Kenny, Iwobi, Allan, Van de Beek, Gordon, Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison
Manchester City possible 11:
Ederson, Cancelo, Laporte, Dias, Walker, Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne, Sterling, Foden and Mahrez
Prediction: Everton 1-3 Man City
Everton’s defence has let in a number of goals this time and Saturday shouldn’t be any difference given its Man City.
We expect the hosts however to put in a stronger performance than the one vs the Saints. But Man City should have more than enough to get ahead.
Players to watch out for: Van de Beek, Richarlison, Mahrez and Foden.
