Manchester City welcome Everton to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday for what could be dubbed the ‘Jack Grealish derby’.The winger completed a summer loan move from City to the Toffees for the 2025/26 campaign, and has so far shone for his new club. It’s taken just weeks for Grealish to become an Everton heroGettyGrealish scored a late winner for Everton in their 2-1 home victory against Crystal Palace just before the international break.He has also provided four assists in an impressive run of form that, should it continue, could send him to the World Cup with England.Everton are eighth in the Premier League ahead of their away trip to City on Saturday, although there’s a potential spanner in the works.Can Grealish play for Everton against City?Grealish is one of the first names on the team sheet for Everton, but WILL NOT be able to feature this weekend.As per the Premier League Handbook, players are not allowed to play against their parent clubs whilst on loan.It reads: “During the period of the Temporary Transfer of his contract registration a Player shall not play against the Transferor Club…“Unless the Transferor Club and the Transferee Club agree in writing that the Player can play against the Transferor Club [a copy of which agreement must be provided to the League in advance of the relevant League Match].”As it stands, City and Everton are not understood to have reached an agreement in writing to allow Grealish to play.He will therefore not be available for selection for David Moyes, which could be a huge blow to the visitors.Everton haven’t beaten City since January 2017, and last won at the Etihad Stadium in December 2010.Grealish cannot play against City due to Premier League rulesGettyFrom City outcast to Everton heroGrealish earned just seven Premier League starts for City last season, and was then left out of their Club World Cup squad in the summer.With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, the 30-year-old accepted his City career is over and opted to complete a move elsewhere.His decision came just two years after winning a treble-winning campaign, during which he scored five goals and assisted another 11.Tottenham and West Ham expressed interest in a move, but it was Everton who welcomed Grealish ahead of the current campaign.He made his Toffees debut off the bench in their 1-0 defeat at Leeds United before assisting both goals against Brighton.Grealish replicated his efforts in a 3-2 win at Wolves before netting in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.Everton will have to find a way to win without their star signingGettySpeaking to EvertonTV after, he said: “I’m over the moon to get my first goal and to do it here at Hill Dickinson in front of the fans, my family and in the last minute as well to win the game.“It was an unbelievable feeling. Do you know what’s mad? In the last few games when we’ve been here, we’ve been drawing and I keep saying to myself in the 85th minute, ‘Come on Jack, imagine if you scored now’.“I did it against Villa and West Ham and didn’t score, so today I said the same thing again and scored! “I ran to where my mum and dad were, that was nice, and that goal goes to all the Evertonians who’ve made me so welcome.”Grealish has had an excellent start to life in the Premier League with EvertonMan City vs Everton: Kick-off time and how to followThe Premier League clash between Man City and Everton at the Etihad will take place on Saturday, October 18.
