Everton host Premier League defending champions Manchester City today with a strong possibility of the visitors running riot. The Blues are at an emotional and mental low after yet another disheartening loss, and with manager Marco Silva having received the dreaded ‘vote of confidence’, what could go wrong?

City are just three points behind Liverpool in the league table and a big win will see them return to the top of the table. The Reds will be desperately hoping their cross-city rivals will show a spine this evening, and to be honest, so will most Toffees.

Last Meeting

Didn’t go well. Gabriel Jesus broke his scoring drought with a brace while the smallish Raheem Sterling got in between two giant central defenders to head home City’s third as they romped to a 3-1 win, with the Blues’ lone goal coming from Dominic Calvert-Lewin to halve the deficit at 2-1, but the visitors never really looked like tying it up.
