Match Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Everton

Manchester City enter this match on a strong run of form, having won three of their last five league games. They've been particularly dominant at home, smashing Burnley 5-1 and Manchester United 3-0.

Everton have been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their recent outings. The Toffees will need to be at their best to contain City's attacking prowess, especially with players like Haaland in top shape.

Despite Everton's recent decent form, their away form has been inconsistent, and facing a City side that has been nearly unbeatable at home could be a tall order. City's defence has been solid, conceding just three goals in their last five games.

If Everton can exploit any lapses, they might nick a goal, but City's firepower should see them through. Expect a game where City controls the tempo and Everton looks to hit on the break.

Manchester City have been in scintillating form, winning three of their last five matches and drawing one. Their recent victories over Brentford and Burnley showcase their ability to dominate games, both home and away.

The only blip was a loss to Brighton, but that seems more like a one-off than a trend. With this kind of momentum, City should be confident heading into the match against Everton.

The Citizens have been particularly strong at home, with convincing wins against Burnley and Manchester United. Their defence has been solid, and their attack, led by Haaland, has been firing on all cylinders.

This combination of a robust backline and a potent offence should give them the edge against an inconsistent Everton side.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (A)

Everton have had a mixed bag of results recently, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five league games. Their victories against Crystal Palace and Wolves demonstrate that they can compete, but their draw against West Ham and loss to Liverpool highlight their inconsistency.

They'll need to be at their best to challenge a formidable Manchester City side. The Toffees have shown they can score goals, but their defence has been leaky at times. They'll need to be more solid at the back if they hope to get anything from this game.

Everton's recent form suggests they can cause an upset, but it will be a tough ask against a City team in top gear.

• Predicted lineup: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, González, Savinho, Reijnders, Foden, Bobb, Haaland

• Predicted lineup: Pickford, Garner, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Alcaraz, Beto

Everton will rely on Dewsbury-Hall’s creativity and Tarkowski's solidity at the back. They'll need to be disciplined and organised to counter Manchester City's attacking threat.

• Bobb vs Garner: This will be a key battle between Manchester City's creative forward and Everton's makeshift right-back.

• Savinho vs Mykolenko: Savinho's flair and skill will be tested against Mykolenko's defensive nous.

• González (Manchester City): González’s presence in midfield adds stability and control to Manchester City's play.

• Dewsbury-Hall (Everton): Dewsbury-Hall’s creativity and ability to unlock defences make him a crucial player for Everton.
