Everton vs Manchester City prediction 27.12.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 27th December 2023
• Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
• Venue: Goodison Park

Manchester City will be looking for a win that will see them move back into the top four when they face Everton away from home on Wednesday night.

The hosts started the season reasonably well, but the ten-point deduction for breaching the transfer rules was widely thought to make them relegation favorites. Thanks to four wins from the last five league games the Toffees have worked their way out of the red zone and the interesting thing is that they beat the likes of Newcastle United and Chelsea in that time.

Meanwhile, Manchester City enter this fixture just days after beating Fluminense in the Club World Cup final. The Citizens are now the first English team to win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup in a single year. Things are not going well for Man City in the league however as the Citizens sit outside the top four and have only won one of their last six league games.

Everton vs Manchester City Betting Tips: Man City to win

Everton’s record in recent games at Goodison in all competitions has been somewhat good with the Toffees losing just one of their last seven home matches, but their record against City at this ground is very poor. 

Dyche’s side didn’t only lose each of their last six home league games against City but failed to score in half of those fixtures. The hosts are certainly capable of making this a close contest and we're expecting them to get on the scoresheet in this game.

Manchester City have enough quality in all areas of the pitch, and we're backing Pep’s side to collect all three points here.
