Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 3-1 away win against Leeds United in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 69%, while racking up 26 shots along the way, 9 of which were on target, in contrast to Leeds United, who had 9 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 22 games in a row. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They have had an excellent run of form at The Etihad Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games. They will be very happy with their early form at home this season, winning 7 of their 8 league games.
When home matches come round at The Etihad Stadium, Erling Haaland will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 10 goals in Manchester City's last 6 home league matches.
Everton, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Everton players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Wolverhampton Wanderers' tally of 7 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
Anthony Gordon will be hoping to create problems for Manchester City in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Everton.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Manchester City produced a comfortable 0-1 victory.
Man City will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Toffees, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 10 meetings between the two. Ahead of this match, The Toffees won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Man City in their last 3 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, The Citizens' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Everton will have to take their chances when they come. We have seen plenty of goals from The Citizens when they play at home against Everton. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Undefeated in their last 10 league encounters against Everton, Man City have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 9 times in a row.
There is only really one injury concern for the Man City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of this clash, with Rúben Dias (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Guardiola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Frank Lampard has a number of injury concerns in his Everton squad to contend with: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Hamstring), James Garner (Back) and Andros Townsend (Cruciate ligament)
