Comments, predictions Man City vs Everton: Haaland makes the away team suffer

Latest Man City vs Everton squad information

City could be without John Stones, who picked up a foot injury at Villa Park, and goalkeeper Ederson through illness. Matheus Nunes missed the previous game with a minor injury, but with Mateo Kovacic and Nathan Ake back, Pep Guardiola is not too worried. Ruben Dias is out for a few weeks with a muscle problem, Oscar Bobb is out until February, and Rodri is out for the majority of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

For Everton, Armando Broja is available after missing the Chelsea game, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains the first choice despite a 12-game goalless streak. Ashley Young is suspended, so Seamus Coleman is expected to start. Dwight McNeil remains doubtful, leaving Everton with only one change at right-back.

Latest Man City vs Everton football review

Last weekend, Man City continued to have an afternoon to forget when they lost 1-2 at Aston Villa, extending their recent poor form. Pep Guardiola's team has only won 4 points from their last 8 matches, becoming the team with the worst record in the Premier League during this period.

City are currently outside the top six, behind the likes of Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth at Christmas. A 12-point gap to Liverpool, who have played a game less, has all but ended City’s hopes of defending their title, despite their impressive comebacks in similar circumstances in the past.

However, City have a chance to temporarily improve their situation when they play on Boxing Day, having not lost two consecutive home games in the Premier League for nearly four years. With a favourable schedule ahead, including weak opponents such as Everton, Leicester City, West Ham United, Salford City, Brentford and Ipswich Town, City have the perfect opportunity to get back on track and close the gap on the top group. Despite a difficult run of matches, this is an opportunity for Guardiola's team to improve their performance.

Everton, City's opponents in this match, are also a regular target for the Etihad. Everton have not beaten City at the Etihad in 13 games, since a run of four consecutive victories between 2008 and 2010. However, Everton have an impressive record on Boxing Day, unbeaten in their last eight away games since 2005. The last time they faced the reigning champions on this occasion, Everton beat Leicester in 2016. However, repeating history will be a big challenge, especially when they have won just one of their last 22 meetings with City and lost 12 of their last 13.

However, Everton's spirits are high after a recent run of form, which has eased the pressure on manager Sean Dyche, who was criticised after the 4-0 defeat to Manchester United less than a month ago. Everton had an impressive 4-0 win over Wolves, drew 0-0 with Arsenal and Chelsea, and indirectly gave Liverpool an advantage in the title race. The optimism was further reinforced when Everton received the good news of the Friedkin Group taking over the team and officially taking ownership of the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. This is an important milestone for the Merseyside club, as they are going through a period of financial and moral stability.

Everton are currently four points clear of the relegation zone, a relatively safe position compared to many fans' predictions, especially given the challenging schedule in December. A solid defence is a key factor in Everton's continued run of form. In particular, they have kept three consecutive clean sheets, leading the way in the number of clean sheets in Europe's top leagues since October (7 games). The 0-0 draw with Chelsea was their fifth draw of the season, an impressive achievement. However, Everton's attack remains their biggest weakness as they have only scored 14 goals, the second worst in the league, only bettered by Southampton. Repeated missed opportunities, such as Jack Harrison's against Chelsea, are issues that Dyche needs to address if he wants his team to go further.
