Manchester City vs Everton: Expected Lineups, Predictions, Odds, Head to Head Stats, Injury News & How to Watch

The weekend has arrived, which means the English Premier League is back in action. Saturday afternoon will see Manchester City host Everton at the Etihad Stadium for Matchday 24. Pep Guardiola‘s side has a chance to push Liverpool to 2nd place and reclaim the top spot, should the Cityzens win. On the other hand, the relegation battle continues for Sean Dyche and Co. as they look to pull out of the drop zone. 

Both sides will be looking to clinch the important 3 points, but time will decide their fate. For now, let’s take a look at the expected lineups, predictions, odds, and where to catch the action.

Manchester City vs Everton: Preview

Manchester City is coming off an emphatic 1-3 victory against Brentford. While the likes of Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, and Kevin De Bruyne failed to find the net, a solid hattrick from Phil Foden was enough to seal the deal. They remain unbeaten in the last 6 PL matches, with the last defeat coming against Aston Villa in December.

On the other hand, Everton is entering this week’s fixture on the back of a 4-goal thriller against Tottenham. The Toffees held Ange Postecoglou’s side at Goodison Park with a 2-2 score. A brace from their ex-star, Richarlison fell short in front of a Jack Harrison goal and Jarrod Branthwaite’s 90+2 minute equaliser to spoil the party for Spurs. 

Cityzens vs Toffees: Injury update

Manchester City has no major injury concerns, as they are rejoicing after the return of Erling Haaland and KDB. However, Sean Dyche is currently grappling with a few absentees. The midfield duo of Andre Gomes and Amadou Onana are expected to miss the clash, with forward Arnaut Danjuma also being left out for the Manchester trip.
