- Everton haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Manchester City has the fewest conceded goals (14) in Premier League

Everton form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Everton at their home stadium (Goodison Park) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. The Everton manager C. Ancelotti might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Everton crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Fulham here at Goodison Park in a Premier League match. Ahead of that match, Everton won a home game hosting Tottenham Hotspur (after extra-time) (5-4).
There will be little rest for Everton after this match as they are travelling to Liverpool for a Premier League game in only three days.
The Everton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Everton have conceded 17 from these games.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City, who have the fewest conceded goals (14) in Premier League, collect 24 points from their 11 away matches in the Premier League. 7 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). In general it has been a productive period now for Manchester City as they haven't lost any of their last 15 games. Manchester has been amazing away for a time now, winning five in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Manchester United.
Manchester City go into this game after a win, the home game against Tottenham Hotspur that ended 3-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Swansea City.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Manchester manager J. Guardiola i Sala as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Arsenal.
The travelling fans enjoy Manchester's attacking play in away games, having scored 21 goals in 11 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - three - six (Everton wins - draws - Manchester City wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
