Everton look a tempting bet to avoid defeat against City despite the absence of influential midfielder Idrissa Gueye and a doubt over the fitness of the impressive Abdoulaye Doucoure. Those issues mean it would be wise to keep stakes modest but City are vulnerable favourites given their recent defensive record and last week's trip to Saudi Arabia for the Club World Cup. Last term's treble winners blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace in their previous league game and they had to come from behind to beat Luton at Kenilworth Road. Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku should be in the squad at Goodison although De Bruyne will be eased back to action after suffering a serious hamstring injury in August. The brilliant Belgian playmaker's return is another reason for City's title rivals to worry about the second half of the season but Everton are capable of delaying the champions' charge.
Rodri is expected to start despite suffering an ankle injury in the final against Fluminense. Everton v Man City predictionsManchester City eased to victory at the Club World Cup last week, beating semi-final opponents Urawa Reds 3-0 before a 4-0 rout of Fluminense in the final, but the world champions have found it tougher against their domestic rivals. City, 4-5 favourites in the ante-post Premier League betting, were fifth in the table on Christmas Day and their last six league results were draws against Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Crystal Palace, a 1-0 loss at Aston Villa and a 2-1 win at lowly Luton. The Citizens are renowned for peaking in the second half of the season, as they demonstrated when hunting down long-time leaders Arsenal in the 2022-23 title race.
However, the Gunners, Liverpool and Villa are setting a brisk pace at the top of the table so City must start stringing together wins and they return to domestic action with a tough trip to Everton. The six-match form certainly suggests the Toffees have a chance of upsetting the champions. They have taken 12 points to City's seven and conceded only five goals while Guardiola's men have let in 12. Everton's recent success cannot be attributed to a soft run of fixtures as their last two home wins came against Newcastle and Chelsea. They lost 2-1 at Tottenham just before Christmas and were beaten 3-0 by Manchester United at Goodison Park on November 26 despite having 24 shots to the Red Devils' nine.
Centre-backs James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite have formed an excellent partnership and Everton had eight shots on target and hit the woodwork in Saturday's narrow defeat at Tottenham.
