Everton overview against Man City Match
Manchester City will move fourth in the table if the reigning champions finish their race outside the league without a victory of two games in Everton on Saturday.
The Cityzens spent more than four hours without scoring on the road in the elite since the winner of Erling Haaland in Tottenham on February 26.
“It is not perfect, but it is in our hands in the last six games to qualify for the Champions League,” said manager Pep Guardiola after seeing his team recover from 2-0 behind to beat Crystal Palace 5-2 at home last Saturday.
The first five will qualify for next season competition, City starting the fifth weekend, a point above Chelsea and Aston Villa.

City’s task seems delicate against a team from Everton who recorded one of the best results in his campaign last Saturday, winning 1-0 at Nottingham Forest, who are two points above the city.
The only defeat of the Toffees in their last 12 championship matches has been with the Liverpool leaders, although five of their last seven have been zero matches.
“They were an incredible football team and are still it,” said manager David Moyes about City. “We don’t have an excellent record against them, so we have to try to turn this tour.”
Everton will remain 13th on Saturday, but a victory could move the Moyes team to two points behind Brentford and Crystal Palace above them.
Looking towards a brilliant future … 💭
