Stats

Man City have won 13 of their last 14 matches against Everton.
Everton have lost 5 of their last 9 away matches.
Everton have failed to score in 6 of their last 7 matches.

Head to Head

Manchester City have a 76-60 advantage against Everton with 45 draws in 181 matches.

They last met in February, the game being won by Manchester City 2-0 at Etihad.

Man City Form

Man City are facing the biggest crisis under Pep Guardiola’s leadership, having won just one of their last twelve encounters across competitions.

They started this month with a 3-0 home victory against Nottingham Forest, but then were held to a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace, Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis scoring equalizers.

The Citizens then suffered back to back defeats to Juventus 2-0 in the Champions League and to Manchester United 2-1 in the Premier League where they had a 1-0 lead with Josko Gvardiol breaking the deadlock in the first half.

Pep Guardiola’s side also lost their most recent appearance to Aston Villa 2-1 last weekend, Phil Foden scoring a consolation goal in stoppage time.

They are currently 7th in the Premier League with 27 points from 17 matches, 12 points behind the leaders Liverpool.

Man City Injuries & Team News

Rodri suffered a cruciate ligament injury and won’t be back until late March.

Defenders Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake are also ruled out due to injuries.

Oscar Bobb broke his leg and won’t be available for at least one more month.

Ederson, Matheus Nunes and John Stones are doubtful.

Everton Form

Everton claimed just one victory in their last eight Premier League appearances and slipped down to 15th position as a consequence, being just four points away from the relegation zone.

The Toffees started this month with a convincing 4-0 defeat to Manchester United, but bounced back three days later against Wolves 4-0, Ashley Young and Orel Mangala on target in the first half while Craig Dawson scored two own goals later.

Sean Dyche’s side then caused an upset by holding Arsenal to a goalless draw, and then repeated that same success last weekend against Chelsea.

Everton Injuries & Team News

James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam are injured.

Dwight McNeil is doubtful for this match, while Ashley Young is suspended.

Verdict

Man City v Everton

Everton failed to score in five of their last six EPL appearances, so I will back Pep Guardiola’s side to keep their net intact and put an end to their winless run on Thursday.
