With only one victory in their last eight Premier League matches, City’s chances of clinching the title are nearly gone. Their recent defeat against Aston Villa further highlighted a struggling defense and an attack that is starved for chances.

Everton recently earned points against both Arsenal and Chelsea in their last two matches, heading to Manchester with confidence. However, they are well aware that their past performance against City has not been impressive. As the first match on Boxing Day, the question remains: who will find their rhythm faster?

Team News: Man City Vs Everton Match

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks due to a muscle injury, while goalkeeper Ederson's status is uncertain after he missed the defeat against Aston Villa.

Man City Vs Everton Match Prediction

Each week, you anticipate that Manchester City will improve, yet they continue to disappoint. Following their 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, the champions have now managed just one victory in their last eight matches.

Coming up, they will be up against an Everton squad that has recently secured points against both Arsenal and Chelsea. Sean Dyche will be eager to take advantage of the chance to prolong Pep Guardiola’s difficult streak, though history doesn’t favor Everton.

Since 2018, City has only lost two points against Everton from a total of 42 available, showcasing an impressive record. While it may seem like a favorable moment to challenge City, particularly at home, it's still a significant challenge to overcome.

Manchester City is expected to win with a score of 2-1.
