I have to use a two stepper solution. XY-Wing 679 pivoted in r5c1; r9c2<>9 and the x-wing on 4 in col 58; r1c7<>4 and r6c4<>4. |

Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
 
 
I certainly needed the XY wing setting r9c2 mentioned by Clement (the second 679 XY setting r2c3 to 1 appears to lead nowhere) but after this it seems to come out without the X wing..... |
