Recent H2H games – City are unbeaten in 18 against EvertonTeam newsEverton have received an injury boost ahead of the clash against City, with Beto fit and available. The 28-year-old missed their trip to West Ham last week due to a concussion, but David Moyes has confirmed he’ll be back in the squad. Jack Grealish and Jarrad Branthwaite remain out, and they should be Everton’s only injury concerns. Meanwhile, Rodri is in a race against time to make the short trip to Merseyside. The Spanish midfielder has missed their last two games due to a groin problem, but he could make his return. Joško Gvardiol and Rúben Dias, remain out.Attack vs. defenceEverton have struggled in the final third this season, and for a few years now, but they’ve maintained a strong level of defensive solidity. Moyes’ side have conceded 1.2 goals per game on average in the Premier League this season, only bettered by Arsenal and Man City.It could make for an interesting match-up, with Pep Guardiola’s side scoring more goals any other team in the Premier League this term. City will be looking to increase their goal difference, with the title race so close, but it might not be easy breaking the Toffees down. This isn’t the City of oldEverton might take some positivity into the game knowing that this City side isn’t at the same level as the ones we’ve seen previously. Guardiola has done a phenomenal job since arriving at the Etihad, but there’s no doubt they’ve dropped off over the last two seasons.However, it’s well known that City come alive in the final months of the season, and that’s been proven of late. The Manchester club have won six games in a row in all competitions, including against league leaders Arsenal. The return of BetoEverton striker Beto missed the Toffees’ previous game due to a concussion, but he should be back in the starting XI against City. Although the 28-year-old has struggled with consistency throughout his time at Everton, he’s been a handful in recent weeks.Beto’s last three gamesBeto has produced five goals and assists combined in the last three games he’s played, and he could be a threat in behind. City are likely to dominate possession and play a high line, something that Beto thrives against.PredictionThis game means a lot to both sides, but it’s hard to see past Man City here. 2-1 away win.(Cover image from IMAGO)You can follow every game from the Premier League with FotMob this season — featuring deep stats coverage, xG, physical metrics, and player ratings.
