Everton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

The bookmakers unsurprisingly have Manchester City as heavy 1.36 favorites to walk away from Goodison with the three points. Those who think that Everton can pull off the shock upset can back the Toffees at a price of 9.00 to win the match or 3.00 on the double chance. The draw comes in at odds of 4.75 odds and the over 2.5 goals sits at 1.67. Also interesting to note is that the oddsmakers have Man City as 1.10 favorites to win the league and Everton are up to 4.00 to be relegated.

Manchester City continued their unbeaten streak midweek when they earned a 1-1 away draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final in the Spanish capital. It’s now 21 consecutive matches without defeat for Pep Guardiola’s men as well as 15 wins from their last 17, with the only two blemishes during that time coming in a pair of 1-1 draws against Bayern and the aforementioned Real Madrid result. The challenge Guardiola will have to overcome here is ensuring that his players remain focused on the task at hand. With the welcome of the Champions League title holders to the Etihad in just three days' time, there is a risk that this trip to Everton becomes something of a ‘lookahead spot’.

Everton picked up a potential season-saving result in their last match when they shockingly blasted five goals past overachieving Brighton in a 5-1 away win. The win snapped an ugly seven game winless run for Everton and lifted Sean Dyche’s team out of the relegation zone, giving them a two-point cushion with only three matches remaining on their fixture list. With a trip to Wolves and a home match against Bournemouth as the remaining two matches, the Toffees should feel fairly strong about their survival chances although it certainly might come down to needing a final day result.
