Manchester City and Everton face off on Sunday in an English Premier League showdown at the City of Manchester Stadium. Everton has lost the last eight games against Manchester City.
Manchester City comes into this game with 23 points picked up which puts them in third place in the standings. Manchester City might not be as dominant as years past, but this is still a team that could win the league. In the last game against Manchester United, the defense locked down giving up only two goals. Manchester City scored a goal in the 7th minute and Bernado Silva added another goal in the 45th minute. Manchester City is really banged up heading into this game with Kevin de Bruyne, Ferran Torres and Jack Grealish all expected to miss the game. Manchester City has scored 22 goals while their defense has given up six goals. Bernando Silva has been the top player scoring three goals and adding another assist.
On the other side of this matchup is Everton who sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up 15 points. Everton has been up and down and in the last game against Tottenham they played to a 0-0 draw. Everton has scored 16 goals total while their defense has given up 16 goals. Demarai Gray has been the best player for Everton this season scoring three goals and adding another two assists.In this game if Everton wants any chance to come away with a victory, they are going to need the defense to be better in this game.
I expect Everton is going to focus on their defense in this game, and that will lead to a lower scoring game. I wouldn’t be shocked if the final score of this game was 0-0 and the under is going to cash.
