Everton vs Manchester City Team News

Everton Team News

Everton come into this match with a few injury concerns, but overall, they are in a decent position. Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains a doubt for David Moyes’ side, along with Joel Lindstrom and Oriel Mangala. However, the return of Iliman N’Diaye from injury could be a significant boost for the Toffees. The absence of Calvert-Lewin might lead to Beto leading the line for Everton.

Manchester City Team News

Manchester City have a few key players unavailable for this fixture. Rodri is expected to miss out for the remainder of the season, and superstar striker Erling Haaland is also sidelined with an injury. Phil Foden is another player who will be assessed ahead of this game after missing the previous match due to a fitness issue. Despite these absences, Pep Guardiola’s side will still be a formidable force.

Everton vs Manchester City Betting Tips

Everton’s form has been mixed in recent weeks, and while they are tough to beat, their lack of wins at home could be a concern. Despite a strong showing against Nottingham Forest, their inability to secure victories at Goodison Park could come back to haunt them against a side of Manchester City’s quality.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have been in solid form, especially in away matches. While the absence of key players like Haaland could weaken their attack, City are still likely to dominate possession and create several scoring opportunities.

Betting Tip: Both Teams to Score Everton have shown they can find the net, even against top opposition. With City’s defensive frailties away from home, particularly without Rodri, a goal from the Toffees seems likely.

Everton vs Manchester City Match Predictions

Our Everton v Man City prediction is for City to take home all three points. Although Everton have been difficult to break down in recent weeks, Manchester City’s attacking prowess and solid form will likely see them edge this encounter. The Toffees have struggled to secure wins at home, and with the Citizens aiming for a top-four finish, they will be motivated to take all three points from this fixture. Expect Everton to cause problems, but Manchester City will ultimately have enough to come out on top.

Match Prediction:
Manchester City to win. Bet with bet365.

Everton vs Manchester City Correct Score Tips & Prediction

The Everton v Man City score prediction leans towards a 2-1 scoreline in favour of Manchester City. This match is expected to be closely contested, but Manchester City’s quality should shine through in the end. The absence of Haaland may limit their attacking threat, but with players like Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Riyad Mahrez in the squad, City still have more than enough to win.

Everton’s ability to score against teams of Manchester City’s calibre suggests they can find the back of the net, but it is difficult to see them keeping the Citizens at bay for the full 90 minutes.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Manchester City. Bet with bet365.

Everton vs Manchester City Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

For the Everton v Man City Over/Under Goals Prediction, we favour over 2.5 goals. With both teams likely to find the net in this match, and Manchester City possessing the attacking quality to score multiple goals, we predict that the total goals will exceed 2.5. Everton have been scoring in most of their recent matches, while Manchester City’s attacking strength, even without Haaland, remains a significant threat. This could be an exciting game for goals.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Everton vs Manchester City Bet Builder Tip

Our Everton v Man City Bet Builder takes into consideration the fact that Erling Haaland is unavailable for this match, so his absence shifts the focus onto other attacking players for a likely anytime scorer. We recommend incorporating Jack Grealish or Kevin De Bruyne into your Bet Builder as potential goal scorers. Grealish has been in fine form, and De Bruyne’s creativity will play a pivotal role in breaking down Everton’s defence.

For a Bet Builder option, consider the following:

• Manchester City to Win
• Over 2.5 Goals
• Jack Grealish Anytime Scorer

This combination provides an excellent balance between the likely outcome of the match and the individual performances that could see goals scored, especially from Grealish, who has been a key player for City in the absence of Haaland.

Bet Builder Tip: Manchester City to win, over 2.5 goals, and Jack Grealish to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
