Manchester City vs Everton Prediction & Betting Tips (10 February)

Manchester City is currently 2nd in the Premier League and is, with 1 game less, 2 points behind leader Liverpool. A time behind on their schedule, the Cityzens now have their destiny in their hands to win a 4th English championship title in a row. They have been running at full speed for several weeks, as evidenced by the current series of 5 victories in the Premier League. Last weekend, Manchester City took the upper hand, away from home, over Brentford 1-3. Next Tuesday, the Skyblues travel to Copenhagen to play their Champions League round of 16 first leg. Still present in the FA Cup, Manchester City also won the Club World Cup in December.

Sanctioned with a withdrawal of 10 points following breaches of the rules of financial fair play, Everton finds itself fighting not to go down this season. Indeed, the Liverpool-based club occupies 18th place in the Premier League with 1 more match and 1 unit of expenditure on the first non-relegation place. After a string of good results, the Toffees have been less to their advantage in recent weeks. They have not won any of their last 6 league matches 3 draws and 3 defeats. Last weekend, Everton showed great resources to hold Tottenham at home 2-2.

Like the previous meeting, the Manchester City coach can count on his entire squad this Saturday. On the attacking front, we should find Erling Haaland (14 goals and 5 assists in the PL) who recently returned to the field after an injury. Furthermore, absent during the first part of the season, the playing master De Bruyne manages to string together matches in 2024 (1 goal and 3 assists during the last 3 days). Against Brentford, it was winger Foden (8 goals and 7 assists in the PL) who stood out with a resounding hat-trick.

This winter, virtually unused midfielder Phillips was loaned to West Ham while replacement goalkeeper Steffen joined MLS (Colorado). The promising attacking midfielder Echeverri (18 years old) has been recruited but he will finish the season with his current club (River Plate).
