Everton Vs Manchester City Team News
Everton have been a fairly decent run of form, losing only one out of their last five games in the Premier League. They are set to face Manchester City in an important clash at Goodison Park in Gameweek 19 but have some important players like Abdoulaye Doucoure, Dele Alli, Seamus Coleman, Idrissa Gana Gueye and Ashley sidelined due to injuries.
The recently crowned Club World Cup Champions will be back in action in the Premier League this midweek after their trip to Saudi over the weekend. The top scorer of the league, Erling Haaland has still not recovered from his injury and is a doubt for the Everton fixture along with Kevin De Bruyne who has recently started training with the group after a long overhaul due to a hamstring injury. Apart from Haaland and De Bruyne, Rodri and Jeremy Diku are the other players doubtful for the fixture.
Everton Vs Manchester City Prediction
Although Everton has been in great form recently, the defending Premier League Champions are predicted to win the game, and with City’s attack playing, over 2.5 goals are expected in the game.
