Everton have been positively transformed since the change in coach but will now face a tough task when they will be hosted by Manchester City. The Citizens are coming off a strong win over Sheffield United and will keep on fighting for a miracle.

Everton (7-9-4) are coming off a great performance on the road against Newcastle. The two teams played some nice soccer but Everton scored once in each half to eventually win by 2-1. They have now won two in a row and are undefeated in the last six matches in all competitions (3-0-3 at 90 minutes). Everton are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 25 points, ten off the top-four. They have been rather weak on the road so far (2-6-2) but have scored in each of their last six trips.

Manchester City (13-5-2) were great on both ends of the pitch against Sheffield Unite and overcame them by 0-2 at home. They have now won five of their last six matches in all competitions but that was just their second clean sheet in their last 15. City are still 3rd in the Premier League with 41 points, 14 behind Liverpool. They have a 7-2-1 record at home but just one clean sheet in their last eight.

Manchester City won by 3-1 on the road earlier in the season and had also won both matches last season. They have been great in this match-up lately (8-2-4) and are undefeated here in the past 9 years (5-0-4). Everton can score against a shaky City defense here and can definitely hold on to the spread.
