Everton v Man City: Key stats and talking points
Manchester City can keep up the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal on Monday (20:00 BST) when they visit Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Just one point from their past three games - including two last-gasp defeats in their past two - has halted Everton's push for European football. However, they go into this fixture five points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth with a game in hand, meaning all is not lost.
Manchester City represent a fearsome opponent, though, especially with the scent of the title in their nostrils. Pep Guardiola and his side have had a full week to prepare for this fixture after their dramatic win over Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final last Saturday. Everton running out of steam?
Toffees manager David Moyes has relied on a core group of players this season, and it has served him well - at least until a couple of weeks ago. Defeats by Liverpool and West Ham United came courtesy of injury-time goals from the opposition. It was the first time Everton have conceded a winning goal in the 90th minute or later in back-to-back league games.
While the Toffees have frequently scored late themselves this season, it is perhaps no surprise that the wear and tear of the campaign is beginning to show.

The midfielder netted his eighth goal of the season at West Ham and is proving himself to be a lethal finisher; only Antoine Semenyo (+4. 5) and Harry Wilson (+4. 3) are outperforming their xG by a greater margin than the former Chelsea and Leicester City man (+4.
