What is the form of Everton as compared to Manchester City?
Everton comes into Saturday's Premier League clash with a very poor form and the Toffees' 14th position on the league log primarily tells the whole story. Having started the league season with successive draw and win against Crystal Palace and Watford, Marco Silva's men have failed to ride on the momentum.
The Merseysiders have lost three of their last four Premier League outings and have conceded at least two goals in doing so. In the last 10 outings, they have won and lost four games apiece. Coming up against a rampaging Manchester City side, it is quite obvious what the fate of Goodison Park side could be.
Following the 3-2 defeat to Norwich City, Pep Guardiola's men have gone on a three-game unbeaten run with a 24-goal haul. The Etihad outfit put eight past Watford alone in its last Premier League outing before beating Preston 3-0 in the midweek EFL tie.
In the course of the last 10 matches, Manchester City has recorded eight wins, a draw and a defeat.
