Everton will be looking for another win after the 0-1 Premier League victory vs Nottingham Forest.
In that game, Everton had 58% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. The only player to score for Everton was Abdoulaye Doucouré (94'). For their opponents, Nottingham Forest got 11 shots at goal with 5 on target.
It’s been all too rare in recent games that Everton have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Everton have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 5 goals in the process. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
Leading up to this clash, Everton:
- have not beaten Manchester City in their previous 15 league matches. That has got to hurt.
- are unbeaten in their previous 6 league matches at home.
- are without a win at home for the past 4 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.
Manchester City

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 11 times in the course of their previous six matches. The overall goals that they have conceded during that period adds up to 6.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Manchester City:
- have not lost to Everton when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league matches. A very decent away record against them.
- are without an away win for the past 2 league games.
