I did not see a xyz-wing and therefore this route is longer than necessary.
x-wing 2
xy-wing {4,5,7}
chain...(4=7)r2c3 - (7)r2c8 = (7-3)r9c1 = (3)r1c2; r1c2 <> 4
m-wing{4,5}... (4=5)r9c7 - (5)r1c7 = (5-4)r1c4 = (4)r1c3; r9c3 <> 4
extend that same m-wing...
(4=5)r9c7 - (5)r1c7 = (5-4)r1c4 = (4)r1c3 - (4=7)r2c3 - (7)r79c3 = (7)r9c2; r9c2 <> 4
xy-wing {2,4,5}
