That match saw them fail to score for the third time in four Premier League home games, having netted just once the other match in that sequence.
This does not bode well for a game against the Citizens, whose watertight defence has kept 11 clean sheets over the course of their 16-match winning streak – conceding just five goals in total during that run.
Everton vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions
Having let in just one goal in their last eight matches in the league, odds of 6/5 (2.20) seem particularly generous on City consigning Everton to a fourth home defeat in five in which they fail to hit the back of the net.
