After a record-breaking number of goals were scored in the Premier League last weekend, Saturday’s early kick-off brings together a title chaser and a relegation candidate.
Second-placed Manchester City welcome 18th-placed Everton to the Etihad Stadium, with 30 points separating the two sides in the table.
We have evaluated the stats and trends to create a comprehensive preview for Saturday’s clash, so keep reading to discover what Forebet’s algorithm predicts.
Manchester City claimed a 3-1 victory over Brentford last time out, with Phil Foden netting a hat-trick at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Pepe Guardiola’s men have now won each of their last five Premier League matches, scoring 14 goals in the process (2.8 goals per game).
Better still, the Cityzens have won each of their previous nine outings across all competitions, with 11 victories coming in their previous 12 encounters.
Having avoided defeat in each of their last 37 home matches across all competitions, Guardiola’s men will be confident of picking up another positive result this weekend.
Meanwhile, Everton came from behind on two occasions to draw 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur last time out, with Jarrad Branthwaite scoring a 94-minute equaliser.
The Toffees have now drawn each of their last three league encounters, playing out goalless stalemates with Aston Villa and Fulham prior to that.
Unfortunately for Sean Dyche’s men, they have failed to win any of their previous six league matches, suffering three straight defeats before the run of draws.
Having failed to find the back of the net in each of their last three away games, Everton will struggle to score against in-form Man City at the Etihad.
Head-to-head: Manchester City won the reverse fixture 3-1 back in December, meaning they have won 11 of their last 12 league meetings with the Toffees.
When you look at the wider H2H statistics, Everton have managed to win just one of their previous 21 Premier League matches against the Cityzens.
Team news: With Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne back in action, Manchester City have no injury problems to report.
By contrast, Everton are currently without Arnaut Danjuma, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Andre Gomes and Dele Alli, while Amadou Onana and Ben Godfrey are doubts.
Following a shaky spell before the turn of the year, Man City appear to be reaching top gear once again, which is ominous for anyone who comes up against them.
Forebet’s predictive analytics model expects Manchester City to score over 1.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to dispatching Everton.
