Manchester City welcome the visitors Everton in the English Premiere League – Round 17. The match will be held on Saturday, December 15th, at the Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
So, this happened. Manchester City are no longer top in the English Premiere League, and they have finally lost. Chelsea are to blame! They’ve beaten the seemingly unbeatable ‘Citizens’ at home, 2:0. Can this possibly mean a start of a bad-luck streak or something like that for Manchester? We don’t think so. The City did concede, but mind that was an away match; Guardiola’s men have never been great on their travels, winning just 5 matches of 8. Their play at home is a totally different thing! The ‘Citizens’ are faultless on their turf, featuring 8 wins in 8 fixtures and the amazing 30 to 5 goal difference, which means that they normally get confident home victories. Their only win with the scoreline of just 2-1 goes back to the start of the season when they beat the ‘Magpies’; the other 7 games were won by a margin of 2 goals as a minimum.

The coming head-to-head holds nothing for Everton. The ‘Toffees’ are a pure home team. As for their away battles, they are totally helpless. Everton count just 1 win in 7 outings – they won Leicester in the beginning of October. This is, actually, it. Marco Silva’s men are not impressive altogether. A season after a season, they are considered a solid middle-class team that have to compete for the European competitions, but they end up with the fight for top-ten, nothing more. So, the clashes with an opponent like Manchester City, especially away ones, given that Manchester must be extremely angry after their last week’s loss to Chelsea… well, nothing good can come out of the Saturday encounter for Everton. Their ultimate goal for the Etihad match should be to avoid a defeat with a lopsided score.
Given Manchester’s confident wins on their soil, we don’t see any grounds for betting on the visiting side. The guests are middle-class players, and nothing else. The ‘Citizens’ are expected to win with -1.5 handicap. Such a handicap is very doable for them at home!
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap.
