Everton FC vs. Manchester City
The Premier League is considered the best league in the world. And that is so true. You can see that in the spheres in which they move. The recent winter transfer window also shows that no other league can match them. Aston Villa, a club threatened with relegation, signed Coutinho from FC Barcelona and Digne from Everton FC, for example. The Toffees also made big-name additions in January. Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek are among the most important signings.
The fact that the Skyblues from Manchester are not stingy with transfer sums is already ubiquitous. Next Saturday, the aforementioned clubs will meet. Everton FC will host City in a Saturday night Premier League match. You can find all the important information here in our Everton – Man City betting tips.
Everton FC are not in good form at the moment. In recent years they have established themselves as the “best of the rest” alongside the Big Six, but there is no sign of that this season. They have only managed one win from their last eight games. This is also the reason for their current 16th place. In contrast, Manchester City are more or less playing in their own world. They are going from victory to victory and had the championship virtually secured. But due to the recent defeat against Spurs and the draw against Southampton a few weeks ago, Liverpool FC have come dangerously close again.

Everton Form & Balance Check
The Liverpool Toffees are currently in one of their worst formations in years. They occupy 16th place and have only managed to pick up one win from their last eight games. This is unacceptable, especially with the capacity Everton have. The squad, which is actually strong, is simply not working and the winter transfers of Dele Alli and van de Beek have not brought the desired success so far. The Toffees have to be careful not to be relegated to the second division. With Newcastle United, who are level on points and newly rich, behind them, this danger is already within their grasp.
Difficulty
Many Everton FC fans are facing a quandary at the moment. For if they support their own club next weekend and it comes to victory, or at least a points steal, they would be doing arch-rivals Liverpool a huge favour in the Championship race. And the worst thing for Toffees supporters would probably be a championship for LFC. That’s why every fan will go to the upcoming game with mixed feelings.
Everton facts & analysis
– Currently 16th place.
– Level on points with 17th place
– Just two points off a direct relegation place
– Only one win in eight games
Man City form & balance check
Form Crisis! That’s probably going through perfectionist Pep Guardiola’s head right now. The Skyblues coach will be full of rage after the recent defeat to Spurs. And he is right to be. For by this defeat the Citizens have given Liverpool the chance to get within three points. As a result, the almost already decided championship duel was heated up again. In the coming clash, therefore, the Skyblues will take to the pitch with extreme discipline and passion, making Everton FC not at all to be envied. They will take the full brunt of Manchester City’s fury.
Focus on the premier league
For years, Manchester City’s big goal has been to win the Champions League. Last year they even made it to the final, where they were defeated by Chelsea FC. This season, many rivals are weakening, which opens up a huge opportunity. Therefore, the focus will probably be on winning the handle pot. However, anyone who knows Pep Guardiola a little knows that he is just as obsessed with winning the championship as well.
Man City facts & analysis
– Currently top of the Premier League table.
– Only three points now on Liverpool
– This puts them under pressure
– Last lost to Tottenham
Predicted line-up – last update on 25 Feb 2022
Not much will change at Everton FC compared to the last game. Even if the result didn’t suit, Frank Lampard doesn’t have many alternatives at his disposal. In contrast, Pep Guardiola still has a lot of options to change. For example, John Stones, Rodri and Mahrez are all candidates for the first eleven.
