The Premier League is back with a full set of weekend fixtures as we return to regularly scheduled programming to continue the month of February. There are so many things up in the air at both ends of the table but hopefully, in the weeks ahead, we’ll start to get a bit more clarity. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun clash between Manchester City and Everton.
Manchester City Form GuideManchester City are once again considered to be the clear favourites to win the Premier League title, and it’s not hard to see why. Pep Guardiola has built an absolute juggernaut of a squad and as we look ahead to the future, you’d have to imagine that the only big question mark is surrounding the punishment they could receive for their financial charges off the pitch.
In their visit to take on Brentford, Manchester City were forced to dig deep as they went 1-0 down to the Bees. In the end, though, they got the job done, coming from behind to secure an important 3-1 victory in the capital.
Everton Form GuideEverton fans have already had to deal with a ten-point deduction this season, and the expectation is that it could get even worse in the weeks and months ahead. Alas, for Sean Dyche, all he can focus on is what’s happening on the pitch. The Toffees certainly have the quality necessary to do some damage, but consistency is going to be key.
It definitely seems like Everton are going to carry their ‘never give up’ moniker forward until their very last breath. They twice came from behind against Tottenham to secure a 2-2 draw, with the second equaliser coming via Jarrad Branthwaite in the 94th minute.
Match PredictionEverton are going to keep on fighting this season and we believe there’s a chance they could even take the lead in a game like this. However, when push comes to shove, we just don’t believe they can hold on, which is why we’re backing a Manchester City win.
