Everton form and stats
5 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. That’s what Everton have to build on here at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
The club members are hoping that Everton will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Southampton (placed 10th).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Leeds United in a game that was won 3-0.A decent goal production from Everton in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 11 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Everton defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Everton hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Norwich City, Leeds United, Brentford, Newcastle United, Watford and Burnley), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Manchester City form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 10 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League. Manchester City are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played twelve in a row without losing.
The manager i Sala was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Etihad Stadium. Manchester City suffered a 2-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur (placed 8th). Defender Cancelo was the best team player with a rating of 7.42. Cancelo hit one key pass and won 8 of 14 duels.

The schedule is very tough for City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A FA Cup game at Peterborough United is waiting in only three days.
Manchester City have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 27 goals from 13 away matches. It's not easy to score on Manchester City as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
