Everton v Man City: Prediction, team news, lineups and odds | OneFootball

Over to you Man City. Pep Guardiola’s men briefly moved top of the table after winning the crunch clash with Arsenal and then edging out Burnley with their game in hand.

But without kicking a ball in the Premier League since that victory at Turf Moor, suddenly they’re six points behind again after the Gunners scored wins over Newcastle and Fulham. City can pull level once more by winning their two extra games but Arsenal now have a superior goal difference: +41 to City’s +37.

As for Everton, outside hopes of making a late run for the Champions League were undone via last-gasp defeats to local rivals Liverpool and relegation-threatened West Ham. Europe is still a possibility though so they have plenty to play for.

Everton v Man City prediction

Will Hill Dickinson be as kind to Manchester City as Goodison was?

City won their last eight games at Everton’s former home ground and they’ve absolutely dominated the Toffees down the years, winning 14 and drawing three of their last 17 top-flight head-to-heads.

The late, late Merseyside derby loss may have knocked some stuffing out of Everton so City can get the win they need.

While Erling Haaland dropped from his usual amazing levels for a while, the Norwegian now has five in five while he scored both goals in City’s 2-0 win over Everton earlier in the season.

Let’s take the obvious route and back Haaland to score first in a City win at 7/2.
