Known for the spoiling and upsetting the rhythm of big teams, with the Merseysiders have a big say in the league title swing during Everton v Manchester City betting on Tuesday night? This enticing fixture sees David Moyes’ Everton aiming to put a dampener on City’s lead over rivals Manchester United at the top of the table, by turning around some poor form. The Toffees have been struggling lately, with no win in their last four Premier League matches, taking two defeats and two draws, the most recent a home point against Blackburn. Everton’s plight hasn’t been helped by a spate of injuries, and Jack Rodwell, Leon Osman, Sylvain Distin, Seamus Coleman all joining Phil Jagielka on the sidelines, as Everton battle for points. Trips to Goodison Park are never easy for teams, but this could be a good time for Manchester City to head there. But it is not as if Everton really have had the luxury of making Goodison Park much of a fortress this season, as they have picked up just three home wins in the League all season. Everton are the same as always, they don’t give too much away and they don’t score a lot of goals. They have managed more than one goal in a game since way back at the end of November, when they beat Bolton 2-0, so it suggests that they are going to set their stall out for a tight defensive display and hope to catch City out with the odd goal. You can’t see Everton running rampant and scoring a lot, so they will battle their way, probably to a rewarding result of a draw in the match. They can at least take some confidence by progressing in the FA Cup on the weekend, knocking out Fulham to move on. There is also the David Moyes factor against City boss Roberto Mancini, as the Scot has rattled off four wins out of the last five matches against the Italian. What stopped the rot was a City 2-0 home win over Everton at the start of the season, but Everton do have a good record against City at home, with just 16 City wins coming at Everton out of 83 attempts. Defence will be the key for Everton and they generally keep teams from getting too many chances in on goal, and so, will the great spoilers turn up and ruin Mancini’s night again in Everton v Man City betting.
Manchester City have been knocked out of the FA Cup and the Carling Cup in recent weeks, but they have rattled off three straight wins in the Premier League. The big news on the team sheet is that they get captain Vincent Kompany back in defence after his suspension, and they will need his influence. City should be nice and rested for this one, after not having to play on the weekend, and to their credit, while the free scoring overpowering performances have dried up, they have fought out a couple of narrow victories recently. There was a 1-0 away win over Wigan, and then the controversial yet massive three home points earned against Tottenham in their last Premier League match. The big thing about the Premier League season now, is that City can really throw everything they have at winning the Premier League title now that the domestic cups and the Champions League have gone. That, at the end of the day is going to be the benchmark for City and Roberto Mancini, especially with rumours that Jose Mourinho may be after his job. This should be a pretty fiercely contested match and a tight one. Everton are hit by injuries and with City really only missing Yaya Toure, the Manchester club need to flex their muscles here. They go into the match just three points ahead of their neighbours Man Utd on the night, and so the wins really must keep coming. Winning ugly right now by one goal will probably be the right way forward for City if they are to fulfil their title winning potential. City still have their 100% home record in the Premier League and all of their glitches have come on the road. That is what makes Everton v Man City betting so enticing, the serious potential there for City dropping points. Will they have the class and character to break down the stubborn Toffees?
