Manchester City take on the visitors Everton in the round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 31st at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
The Citizens are in third place in the Premier League standings, and of course Josep Guardiola's team is not happy with this. In the home match against the obvious underdog Everton this season, the City will play exclusively to win. Manchester City have 10 wins, two draws and two losses so far this season. The "Citizens" took 7 wins in 9 last meetings and 19 in 20 home battles! At the same time, in 12 cases, Manchester City also scored a total of more than 3.5 goals. Largely thanks to the outstanding performance of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is showing incredible results in his first year in the Premier League. After a long pause in the season, Manchester City in the first home match beat their biggest competitor Liverpool with a score of 3:2. The City in general often scores at least three goals at the Etihad.

Everton are 17th in the Premier League standings. The Toffees under Frank Lampard did not flourish at all, but only became even more mired in the struggle for survival. The current state of affairs forces the Liverpool club to try to score points, even in away matches against such top clubs. Unlike the "Citizens", Everton cannot boast of good form. The Toffees have suffered four defeats and one draw in the last five meetings.
Manchester City have dominated the head-to-head dispute with Everton for many years. The "Citizens" have won already 10 head-to-heads matches in a row. Interestingly, in 5 of the last 10 matches, the teams have scored over 3.5 goals. Manchester City are top favorites for the upcoming game. The success of the "citizens" is estimated at 1.16 with 8.90 for a draw and 19.00 for the success of Everton. Everton are hardly capable of scoring points at the Etihad. The Toffees are likely to lose this match, but at the same time, in the very end of 2022, the rivals are able to give a very bright battle.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win and over 3.5 scored goals.
