Everton vs Manchester City: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 31st March 2018
Kick off at 5:30pm BST
Venue: Goodison Park

Match Preview:

Only 4 teams have taken points from Manchester City and Everton are one of them. But the team from Merseyside can go one better as they are the only team to have taken points at the Etihad this season when they drew 1-1.

Everton’s form has vastly improved since they lost away to Burnley and manager Sam Allardyce was booed by fans. Since then they have claimed wins over both Brighton and Stoke but it was the Stoke game that was more significant given that it was just the clubs 2nd away win of the season. At Goodison Everton have not lost a game since New Years Day when they went down against City’s rivals Manchester United.

Manchester City as ever will start as favourites and they just need 3 more wins to claim the title. However the players will have one eye on Everton’s rivals as they play Liverpool in a huge Champions League quarter final tie next week.

Pep Guardiola’s side have the best away record in the league where they have won 12 matches from 15, scoring 34 goals and have the best defensive record away from home, conceding just 10 goals.

Everton vs Manchester City Head to Head:

Home or away Everton have lost just 1 game in their past six meetings with Manchester City

Last season this match ended 4-0 to Everton

 

Everton vs Manchester City Prediction:

Everton have caused City all types of problems over the past few seasons. However City are by far the superior team and if they are on form they will ease to victory. Confidence has been restored at Goodison though and we will take the home side on the handicap.
