Everton take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 19 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 27th at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Everton are showing excellent form. After two challenging years filled with a tough yet successful battle for survival and a difficult start to the new season, they have hit an impressive form this fall. However, they were forcibly relegated to the relegation zone, losing 10 points due to disputed allegations of excessive spending. It's not surprising that after this, experts, led by Liverpool legend Carragher, were outraged, asking why Everton and not the big-spending Manchester City were penalized. While the Blues' lawyers were preparing an appeal, the players, led by Sean Dyche, quickly compensated for the losses, delivering an impressive series of victories. In the League Cup against Fulham, Onana could have secured passage with a decisive fifth penalty, but Leno saved his shot, and the German goalkeeper then ensured overall success in the penalty shootout. Later, Mykolenko and the team faced Tottenham in the league. Despite quickly conceding twice, they couldn't even secure a draw in the end.

Last season, Manchester City added the coveted Big-Eared trophy to their familiar status as dominators of English football. After finally winning the Champions League, they performed excellently in the new group stage, easily advancing to the playoffs and defeating everyone in their path, even when fielding backups. Moreover, they had previously beaten Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup and achieved a straightforward victory in the Club World Cup with a 4-0 win over Brazilian side Fluminense in the final. However, their performance in domestic competitions was quite different. It seems the Blue Moon did not exert much effort in the country's Super Cup, lost to Arsenal, and the League Cup, where they were eliminated by the first opponent, Newcastle. However, they certainly aimed for maximum success in the Premier League and were leading at some point. However, their confident and familiar path to the trophy suddenly turned into a series of setbacks from the second half of autumn. They won only against Luton from the last six opponents. Yes, they suffered defeat only to the incredible Aston Villa, but four draws pushed them to the edge of the leading quartet.
After 2017, only once, last December, Everton did not lose a head-to-head match to the Citizens. But after that 1-1, the champions secured a resounding 3-0 victory in Liverpool. The Citizens simply cannot afford another failure—they are currently outside the top four in the current Premier League standings. We bet that they will win with a handicap of -1.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.0 handicap.
