Everton vs Manchester City Prediction
Everton were candidates for relegation a few months ago. However, legendary manager David Moyes has revamped the Toffees since his return to Goodison Park. The 61-year-old has overseen a positive run of form, with his side having lost just two of his 13 games in charge (five wins). The Merseyside outfit have drawn each of their last four games in front of their fans and will be keen to avoid a fifth successive draw for the first time in Goodison Park history.
Manchester City, for their part, were the favorites to win a fifth Premier League title on the bounce at the start of the season. But a disastrous campaign has seen them scrambling for UEFA Champions League qualification. Pep Guardiola's side have benefitted from the extra slot won by the PL and currently occupy the final UCL spot.
Everton have had a torrid time in this fixture in recent years, with their last win coming in a 4-0 victory back in Guardiola's first season in charge eight years ago. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
