Manchester City vs Everton Prediction & Preview – Premier League Clash This Saturday
Welcome to Extratips! Get set for a big battle as Manchester City hosts Everton on Saturday, October 18th, at 14:00 in the Premier League. City sits 5th with 13 points after 7 matches, looking to bounce back after recent draws and keep pace at the top. Everton isn't far behind—8th place with 11 points—after grabbing solid results in tough matches. These teams know each other well. City has dominated the last 5 meetings: winning 4 and drawing 1, including a 2-0 win last April. Home advantage matters—City have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss at the Etihad recently. Everton's away form is steady: 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss in their last 5 trips.
City’s main strengths? Relentless attack led by Haaland, who’s already scored 9 goals, quick transitions and high possession. Weak points include occasional slips at the back and inconsistent finishing from the supporting cast when teams park the bus. Everton is disciplined at the back, solid in midfield duels, and always committed. Their struggle: scoring away, over-reliance on a few players for goals, and slow starts.
Key factors: City’s fixture congestion from European games may mean rotation, while Everton have a clean injury list but tend to concede late goals. Interesting angles? Can Everton stop Haaland, will Pickford pull off another top-performance in goal, and can the Blues keep pace in midfield? Fans and punters should watch for City’s early goals and Everton’s set-piece threat.
This matchup looks set for goals, with City eager to prove their class at home. Buckle up for a classic!
