Everton vs Manchester City: EPL Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On Saturday afternoon, Manchester City will go to Goodison Park to face Everton, hoping to get one step closer to a Champions League spot.

Previous Matches and Head to head

Everton are enjoying a strong run under David Moyes, with just one loss in their last 12 Premier League games since mid-January. Fresh off a dramatic 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, they’ve climbed clear of relegation fears and will be aiming for another upset after earning a 1-1 draw at the Etihad on Boxing Day.

Manchester City, meanwhile, appear to be hitting form at the right time. After a thrilling 5-2 comeback win over Crystal Palace and an FA Cup semi-final spot secured last month, Pep Guardiola’s side have lost just once in their last eight games. They won 3-1 at Goodison last season and will be targeting a similar result.
