Manchester City vs Everton Prediction and Betting Tips | December 31st 2022
Manchester City will host Everton at the Etihad on Saturday evening in another round of the English Premier League campaign.
The home team have enjoyed yet another solid start to their season and remain in the race for the Premier League title. After returning to competitive action with a 3-2 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, the Cityzens picked up a 3-1 away win over Leeds United on Wednesday night and were already three goals up before their opponents scored a consolation goal.
Manchester City sit second in the league standings with 35 points from 15 games. They are five points behind Arsenal at the top of the pile and will be looking to reduce that gap on Saturday.
Everton, meanwhile, have endured a difficult campaign and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone with the midpoint of the season fast approaching. They were beaten 2-1 by Everton in their last league game and had looked set to come away with a point before their opponents scored a late winner.
