The defending champions are six points behind league leaders Chelsea and should be cautious of an Everton side which is more than capable of pulling off an upset at the expense of the Citizens. Man City have been on a ravishing run as of late and are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions.
Much of their good form has been down to the mercurial Sergio Aguero who has been performing superbly since the beginning of the season. The Argentinean has scored seven and registered three assists in his last five matches in all competitions and his antics have resulted in him topping the scoring charts in the Premier League.
His manager Manuel Pellegrini applauded Aguero for his fine performances this season but insisted that the Argentinean can still improve.
"I am very happy for Kun because he is working hard. I always say he is too young. He is only 26 years old and I think he can improve every day," he said.
"He wants to do it and at this moment, it is difficult for defences to stop him. He is playing a very high performance but there are so many years left for him to strengthen."
"Before he started scoring in these games in a row, I thought he was in the top five players in the world. I am very happy for him because he's playing well as well as scoring."
The Chilean further claimed that his side is not a one man team and is hoping for a good performance against Everton.
"This team is not just about Aguero though."
"He is a very good player but the team have come here again and played the same way we did last season - we dominated the game and we have players in high performance."
Everton on the other hand have been unimpressive in the league so far and are currently 11th in the league table. The Toffees have failed to record a victory in their last two matches and will be hoping to change that on Saturday.
Everton will be without the likes of Darron Gibson (knee), Steven Naismith and James McCarthy (both hamstring). Man City on the other hand will be without forward Stevan Jovetic who picked up an injury in the match against Everton and will join David Silva on the unavailable list. Captain Vincent Kompany has also been ruled out of the match but Aleksandr Kolarov and Edin Dzeko are set to return.
