Everton vs Man City Prediction and Odds: City Favorites To Win
Manchester City will start as favorites for their upcoming match against Everton. The latest Everton vs Man City Prediction and Odds also predicts a win for City in this match.
Pep Guardiola’s side will be keen to bounce back after facing a 3-2 setback in their last EPL game against Tottenham at the Etihad. City will be traveling to Goodison Park on Saturday to face Everton who are looking clueless this season after securing only one win in the last 5 matches.
The City boys have got ample time to assess and regain their strength for a convincing performance against Frank Lampard’s side this weekend. They are known to accept their mistakes and rectify them in the next game. The Toffees, on the other hand, are having a rough season. They will be hosting Manchester City after facing a 2-0 loss against Southampton at the Saint Mary’s.
Guardiola’s rotation policy has worked well for City in the current EPL season. His tactics in the next game will be important for his team. It will be a tough game for the Everton side and they will have no margin for error against the strong Cityzens to avoid a home loss.
Frank Lampard’s message for Everton fans seems interesting before the big clash.
“It’s very easy to seep back into the ways of playing the ball longer and the team getting stretched. They are the things we [the new coaching team] addressed very quickly when we came in here and, in difficult moments, we’ve seen them come back.
There is no magic wand to change things instantly and you need to work and focus every day. You’re only as good as how you work and prepare. Until this point, I think we’ve got that right. But a game like we’ve had against Southampton is a reminder of why we’re in the position we’re in.”
