What Everton can expect against Manchester City Two back-to-back defeats to stoppage-time goals have certainly burst the bubble. So, Manchester City’s first visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium could hardly have come at a worse time for Everton, especially with Pep Guardiola’s juggernaut in full on ‘run-in mode’. But, when the odds are stacked against the Toffees and David Moyes, that’s perhaps when they show their best.
And if they are to claw their way into Europe, they have to start picking up positive results again. So, what should we expect from Man City? LAST TIME OUT Man City are on a roll...
though they were far from at their best as they overcame Southampton 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday. Nico Gonzalez’s wonderstrike sealed the deal and ensured City would return to Wembley next month, with a domestic treble now on the cards, but they did fall behind to Finn Azaz’s excellent strike, which spurred City into action after what had been an underwhelming display up to that point. Last time out in the Premier League, of course, Man City beat Burnley 1-0 to go ahead of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, though the Gunners moved back to the summit by seeing off Newcastle United.
City, though, will have two games in hand by the time kick-off rolls around on Monday, with Arsenal in action against Fulham on Saturday. MAN CITY’S FORM Man City are unbeaten in 21 league matches, dating back to a 2-1 loss at Newcastle in November.
