Everton vs Manchester City prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-18 14:00.
[p]Everton’s resurgence under manager David Moyes continued last weekend when they scored in second-half stoppage time to seal an impressive 1-0 win away to UEFA Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest. That extended their record to just two defeats in 13 league matches under the Scot (W5, D6), and notably, only five teams in the Premier League have accumulated more points than the Toffees’ 21 during his second spell at the club so far. [/p]
[p]This will be a stern test for Moyes’ improving side given the poor record that Everton have against visitors Manchester City. A memorable 4-0 win in Pep Guardiola’s first season in England back in 2017 here at Goodison Park was actually their last league victory over the current champions (D3, L12 since), yet a six-match unbeaten home league run (W2, D4) will surely inspire belief they can end that rotten sequence here.[/p]
[p]The last H2H finished all square (1-1), just as City’s last away game against rivals Manchester United did (0-0). Guardiola’s men bounced back emphatically last week to blow Crystal Palace away (5-2), not only extending their record in all competitions to five without loss (W3, D2) and leaving them in the fifth and final Champions League spot heading into this weekend. [/p]
[p]There is still no denying that goals have been hard to come by on the road for the Cityzens of late, with just two netted across their past four away league matches (W1, D1, L2). That includes blanks in both of their last two such games, and a third failure to score here would represent their worst run in front of goal on their Premier League travels since December 2015. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Abdoulaye Doucouré has scored three goals in his last eight Premier League appearances for Everton, having only netted one in his previous 36 such games. Expected midfield opponent Kevin De Bruyne, in his last season at City, has been in sparkling form lately, having had a hand in six goals in his last six league starts for City (G1, A5). [/p]
[p]Hot streak: Everton have drawn their last four Premier League home matches – they have never drawn five league games at Goodison in a row previously. [/p]
