Manchester City will certainly be looking to move to the top of the table as the Cityzens take on struggling opponents Everton on Saturday afternoon. Pep Guardiola's men currently sit in second place on 49 points, two behind current leaders Liverpool, and still have a game in hand. The reigning Premier League champions come into this match having fought from falling 1-0 behind against Brentford to win the match 3-1 thanks to a Phil Foden hat-trick, and a victory in this game will make it a tenth consecutive good result across all competitions.
Given that Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 13 home games against Everton (W11 D2), and overall have turned the Etihad into a fortress this season, it is pretty safe to say that the struggling Toffees will be in for a long afternoon. The visitors come into this match sitting in 18th place, with a massive points deduction earlier this season leaving them in dire straits as they now face an uphill battle to avoid the drop at the end of this term.
Although the Toffees have avoided defeat in their last three games, including a 2-2 draw against Tottenham recently, Sean Dyche's team have failed to win their last five games in the Premier League. It is a rather disappointing turn of events for a team that at one point had managed to win four league games on the trot to give their fans hope, and the odds appear to be firmly stacked against them as it has been seven years since Everton traveled to the Etihad and came back with three points in hand.
