Everton
A last gasp win at Champions League chasing Nottingham Forest felt huge for Everton last weekend and they will be hoping for a repeat dosage in this one. The Toffees are flying under David Moyes, sitting comfortably in mid-table and they appear to be enjoying playing with increased freedom. Goodison Park is gearing itself up for its farewell and this feels like a significant game for Everton and their fans, with the defending champions in town.
Team news: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jesper Lindstom and Orel Mangala miss out here for Everton.
Everton Predicted Lineup:
Pickford, Coleman, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Garner, Gueye, Doucoure, Harrison, McNeil & Ndiaye.
Manchester City
It was chaotic at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, but Manchester City gave all a stark reminder of their firepower, overcoming Crystal Palace by 5 goals to 2. For the blues, the FA Cup and finishing inside the top 5 is all they have to play for this season, in what has been a real campaign of transition for Pep Guardiola’s men. Goodison Park is always a tough place to go, and City know they will need to be at their best to pick up any sort of result here.
Team news: Rodri, Ederson, John Stones, Erling Haaland, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake will miss out here for City.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup:
Ortega, Dias, Lewis, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Kovacic, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Doku, Bernardo & Marmoush.
Everton vs Manchester City Prediction
While City need the points more than Everton do at this point in the season, the Toffees will be bang up for this one and there is an expectation growing at Goodison Park currently. In seasons gone by, City would be rampant here, not giving the opposition a sniff and their dominant style would bear fruit. However, they have lacked consistency and fluency throughout this campaign and with Everton perhaps sensing weakness, a home win could be on the cards here.
Prediction: Everton to win the match – 3/1 (+300) – Rhino Bet.

Everton to win & BTTS – 9/2 (+450) – Fitzdares
This feels like a huge game for Manchester City but they have come up short so often this season, making Everton very backable, considering their strong recent form.
