Manchester City vs Everton
Competition – Barclays Premier League
Stadium – Etihad Stadium
Date: 15th December 2018
Kick-off time – 12:30 GMT
Everton have had to endure a tough run of fixtures recently and that will continue with probably the hardest of them all when they visit Manchester City for this game.
The Toffees have played Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool away in recent weeks, and apart from Manchester United they have given a good account of themselves despite also losing in horrendous fashion at Anfield.
Marcos Silva’s men will be looking to become the next team to deny Manchester City all three points in this game, and their recent stats against the Cityzens back that up.
Everton have picked up draws in 4 of their last 6 visits to the Etihad while Manchester City haven’t scored more than a single goal in 5 of those games.
Everton come here having visited Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, with only Tottenham left inside the top 6, the Toffees should feel that they are in a good place at the moment.
Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 loss to Chelsea in their last game which cost them the Premier League top spot to Liverpool.
They may have dropped points at Chelsea and Liverpool this season, but they have won every single league game played at the Etihad, and they will be confident of keeping that run going.
Bookmakers have priced Manchester City up as very short, odds-on favourites to come out on top. Goal markets suggest this game will be thrilling as over 3.5 goals is currently trading odds-on.
Sergio Aguero is bookies favourite to score the first goal closely followed by Fernando Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.
