Premier League: First-class versus second-rate, at least that's what the standings say. Manchester City - Everton. Home win or a shock result?
- Manchester City have the most scored goals (43) in Premier League
- Everton have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
These are hustling days for the hosts, as they had a match only three days ago in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Leeds United.
Manchester City form and stats
7-0-1 is the performance here at Etihad Stadium so far in the Premier League, giving Manchester City a total of 21 from their 8 games here. Outstanding results!
Manchester City enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Leeds United's place. The match ended 3-1 with Haaland (2) and Rodri scoring. Haaland has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in three matches in a row. Skilful! The attacker Haaland won the honour of being "man of the match" for Manchester City with the rating of 8.41/10. Haaland scored two goals and hit one key pass.
Before that fixture, a home victory against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. City are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Etihad Stadium with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 16 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Manchester City has won 13 times, drawn 1 and lost 2. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Manchester City has won by at least two goals 12 times when in this position.
Lots of goals? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 11 of the 14 most recent league matches with this club has had three or more goals.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Manchester City is on fire here. A stunning 30 from 8 league matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Everton form and stats
Everton have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-4 (8 played). Recent form does not give Everton much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Manchester City will be a tough nut to crack.
Everton might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Wolverhampton Wanderers proved too strong as Everton slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Goodison Park. Late heartbreak for Everton in the Wolverhampton Wanderers match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Gueye got a match rating of 7.71 in that game, top player of the team. Gueye hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 42 total).
Before that one, the victory at home hosting Western Sydney Wanderers in the Sydney Super Cup (5-1).
A new game in only three days for Everton, the Premier League home match versus Brighton & Hove Albion. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Everton as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Everton in these games.
