Man City vs Everton tips and predictions: Rampant Citizens to defend epic home record against Toffees
Manchester City's Phil Foden celebrates after scoring his side's second goal during the English Premier League soccer match between Brentford and Manchester City
Manchester City will be looking to go top of the Premier League table for at least a couple of hours when they host a struggling Everton side at the Etihad this Saturday afternoon (1230 GMT).
Surprise, surprise. Man City are beginning to tighten the screw as we approach the final 15 games of the Premier League season. Who saw that one coming?
Pep Guardiola and his men gave us all a false sense of security when they dropped nine points from four games towards the end of 2023. Since then, City have been rampant.
The Citizens last lost a competitive fixture back in December against Aston Villa. In the 12 fixtures which have followed, City have picked up 11 victories.
With Guardiola’s men flying, there is a sense that Liverpool and Arsenal are shaking in their boots. They know that a single slip-up could hand City the all-important initiative.
Question is, can Everton halt City’s progress? If we’re being honest, there’s more chance of the UK sending a decent song for Eurovision. If you heard our latest pick, you’ll know what I mean.
The Toffees have picked up just one win from their last 10 matches across all competitions and scored just two goals from their last four Premier League outings.
Everton are winless in 13 visits to the Etihad and we’re expecting that run to continue.
Man City to win the match with a -1 handicap is the way to go. The hosts to win the match to nil is another enticing proposition in the betting market.
