Everton vs Manchester City: match preview
Everton sit in mid-table but remain in contention for European qualification this season. The Toffees have 47 points after 34 matches and occupy 11th place. They also have a game in hand and are just three points behind eighth place and four off seventh. As such, Everton still have a realistic chance of breaking into the European spots. However, their current form is far from ideal, as they are winless in three matches, losing two of them.
Manchester City will also be fully focused on securing victory. The team are firmly in the title race and must deliver maximum results. The Citizens are second in the table with 70 points after 33 matches. They trail the leaders by six points but have two games in hand. If Manchester City win both of those matches, they could overtake Arsenal on tiebreakers. However, they must continue winning all remaining fixtures.

- Everton: Pickford; O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto
- Manchester City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O'Reilly; Silva, Gonzalez; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland
Prediction
