Manchester City hosts Everton in round 38 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 23rd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
Josep Guardiola did it again. Manchester City became the early champion of the English Premier League. The start of the 2020/2021 season turned out to be a disaster, as the team was outside the top ten, but then the Citizens gained amazing shape. They came out on top of the Premier League standings, won the League Cup, and reached the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in their history. True, it was not without a fly in the ointment. After celebrating the champion’s title, the Sky-Blues lost to Brighton in a non-decisive match (3-2). The only excuse for Manchester City was a red card, which Cancelo picked up in the tenth minute of the confrontation. Even though the teams were no longer motivated, Guardiola was unhappy with the result of that match.

Everton is in the opposite situation. At the start of the season, the team had been at the top of the Premier League standings for a long time and laid claims to European cups, and now it has dropped to 8th place. However, the victory over the Wolves in the last match gave some chances of getting in the Conference League. In the final round, the seventh Tottenham Hotspur will go to Leicester, but the Toffees will also have a difficult trip to Manchester, where they will be opposed by the new champion of England. The only thing that can help the charges of Carlo Ancelotti is the combat-ready lineup. The coaching staff cannot count only on the regular player of the midfield line, Jean-Philippe Gbamen. Therefore, not all is lost.
The federation allowed fans to be present at the stadiums in the final rounds of the English Premier League. This fact strongly motivates the players. A striking example of this is Brighton that beat Manchester City at home. The Citizens will want to make up for the defeat in the last match. Beyond that, they probably want to end the season on a high note. Everton players are unyielding and tough opponents, but Man City has a full advantage in head-to-head matches: seven victories in a row with a total score of 18-5. The only moment that may not prevent the hosts from scoring three points is Guardiola's decision to put key players on the bench, as the most important battle in the UEFA Champions League final is ahead.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.0 handicap
