Everton will welcome title holders Manchester City to Goodison Park on Wednesday night. Since facing their ten-point deduction, the hosts have found decent form. Man City will come into this tie having just won the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia. This could be a tricky meeting for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Everton have won four of their last five Premier League games. The hosts picked up some impressive results, beating Newcastle and Chelsea. Sean Dyche will be very satisfied with his side’s defensive record, with the defence conceding only twice across their last five fixtures. Abdoulaye Doucoure has played a key role for the hosts, scoring six times this season.
Despite having won the Club World Cup, Man City have hit a rare run of poor form domestically in recent weeks. Guardiola’s side have dropped points in three of their last four games, with their most recent poor result being a draw with Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium. City have struggled defensively along this run.
These Everton v Man City stats will provide an insight into what to expect from this important game. If you are looking to place a bet builder on this game, this is the place to look for some heavily-researched tips.

⚽ Match stats: Man City’s love for Goodison Park
It has been over six years since Everton beat Man City at Goodison Park. Guardiola’s side have won all of their last seven away games against the Toffees. When the pair faced each other last season, Man City won 3-0.
The Manchester club will most definitely be boosted by their success in the Club World Cup, and following the conclusion of the Champions League group stages, Guardiola and his players will be able to switch their focus to closing in on the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa.
Everton have looked good since their points deduction; however, they lost 2-1 against Spurs in their last outing. Despite some positive results, Everton have still struggled against the bigger clubs in the league, losing against Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs already this season.
Man City need to turn around their form should they wish to keep up with the in-form sides at the top of the table. Expect more joy for Man City at Goodison.
Predictions:
⚽ Man City to win @ 1.53
🎯 Shooting stats: Alvarez and Foden to make the keeper work
Man City have registered an average of almost seven shots on target per match in the league this season. Two individuals that have been key contributors to this are Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden.
Alvarez has started all of Man City’s seventeen league games this season. The Argentinian forward has excelled thus far, amassing ten goal contributions in total. Alvarez has registered an average of 2.6 shots per game, with an average of one finding the target.
Foden has been key for Man City this season, with the ‘Stockport Iniesta’ scoring in the Club World Cup final on Friday. Foden has registered an average of 2.2 shots per ninety minutes, with an average 1 shot on target per game.
Expect Alvarez and Foden to trouble Jordan Pickford here.
Predictions:
⚽ Julian Alvarez to have 1+ shot on target @ 1.30
⚽ Phil Foden to have 1+ shot on target @ 1.44
🛑 Fouls stats: Onana and Gvardiol to play dirty
When it comes to fouls per game, Everton have the second-highest average in the Premier League. The Toffees average 12.6 fouls a game, and one key contributor is the Belgian international, Amadou Onana. Onana has committed an average of around 1.5 fouls per game, picking up two yellow cards in the process. The midfielder committed three fouls in his last outing.
Man City have accumulated an average of 9.5 fouls per game in the league this season. Josko Gvardiol has committed his fair share of fouls, averaging more than one foul per ninety minutes. The Croatian has fouled eight times in his last four games.
Back Onana to foul twice and Gvardiol once.
Predictions:
⚽ Josko Gvardiol to commit 1+ foul @ 1.20
⚽ Amadou Onana to commit 2+ fouls @ 2.0
🟨 Card stats: Garner to see yellow
Everton have averaged two yellow cards per game in the league this season. One individual that has been punished by the referees on multiple occasions is James Garner. The ex-Manchester United man will likely be fired up for the visit of his old rivals. With the likely absences of Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure due to injury, it is almost certain that Garner will be involved here.
As well as Garner averaging more than one foul per game; the midfielder often takes set-pieces for the Toffees and has been booked for time-wasting already this season. Should the game be close, there is every chance that Garner will do his best to waste some time, which is being firmly punished by the officials this season.
Back Garner to be carded in this fixture.
Predictions:
⚽ James Garner to be shown a card @ 4.20
