Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Manchester City vs. Everton at English Premier League
The Citizens smelled blood after Liverpool’s loss against Arsenal and are now in a position to control their own destiny. With a game in hand, they can reach the Premier League’s top, but previously, Guardiola’s machinery needs three points here. Everton is in problems, not winning a Premier League contest since mid-December. As time goes by, the Toffees are slowly losing pace and becoming serious relegation contenders.
Manchester City
The Citizens cruised past Brentford this Monday night 1-3, with Fil Phoden netting three goals and delivering one of his best performances this year. The pacey winger is slowly improving, and it seems that his form will peak in the best possible moments for the Citizens.
The win over Bees was the ninth consecutive for this unit and the eighth in which the Citizens netted at least twice. With or without Haaland, this unit is fantastic upfront, and it’s no wonder they have 54 goals scored so far and are the best in the Premiership in that category.
City has ten matches played at home in the Premier League, winning seven and posting three draws, scoring 27 times and conceding ten goals.
Everton
Sean Dyche is under heavy pressure. After Everton’s 10-point fine, we saw this team win four in a row, not allowing a single goal, but they would suddenly stop. Right now, the Toffees won only once in the latest ten events, which was in the FA Cup against Crystal Palace.
Though, Dyche’s crew suffered an elimination in the very next round, and after that had back-to-back ties in the Premiership against Fulham and Everton. This led to their fall into the relegation zone, having one point fewer than Luton but a game more played.
Now, when looking at Everton’s games on the road, they are decent. Overall, the Toffees are the sixth-best away team in the league, with 17 points on 11 outings – five wins, two ties, and four draws.
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Ake, Stones, Lewis; Nunes, Rodri; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland
Everton: Pickford; Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Young, Gueye, Garner, McNeil; Harrison; Calvert-Lewin
* at the time of writing these lineups were relevant
City was routine in the first meeting of the year at Goodison Park. They triumphed 1-3, even though Everton took the lead with Harrison netting in the 29th minute. Foden, Alvarez, and Silva flipped the result in the second half, each scoring a goal.
Things aren’t bright for the Toffees, who now have to face the champs. Dyche is ultra-defensive in situations like these, but that won’t help against City, who knows how to breach the block in front of and in the box. For us, this is a no-brainer, with the home team winning and taking three points. We are also positive that the Citizens will score at least twice as well.
Our verdict: Man City wins
