Squad Comparision
Manchester City
Manchester City’s poor form continued away to Aston Villa on Saturday. The Citizens trailed at halftime, but Villa doubled their lead in the 65th minute. Phil Foden scored in stoppage time, but the damage had already been done, and Pep Guardiola’s side suffered their third consecutive league and cup defeat. Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, John Stones, Matheus Nunes, and Ederson could all miss the Boxing Day game against Everton due to injury.
Probable Playing 11: Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; De Bruyne, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Everton
Sean Dyche’s team drew 0-0 for the fourth time in six games when they hosted Chelsea on Sunday. Everton gave it their all, and while both teams could have won the game, the Toffees will be the happier of the two clubs to have earned a point. Ashley Young received his fifth yellow card of the season and will miss the trip to the Etihad, while Timothy Iroegbunam, James Garner, and Dwight McNeil are all injured.
Probable Playing 11: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Mangala, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin
Manchester City vs Everton Winning Prediction
Manchester City has shown marked improvement as the season has progressed and seems to have peaked at the perfect time. Phil Foden scored a sensational hat-trick against Brentford and will look to replicate his heroics this weekend. Everton can pack a punch on their day but have a definitively poor record at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City are the better team on paper and hold the upper hand on Saturday.
