Manchester City v Everton Betting Preview
The big game of the weekend in the Premier League and it should be a fixture which produces goals. The two clashes between them last season certainly did, but as for picking out a winner, will City’s big improvement over their recent stretch of games see them have too much in the bank for the Toffees, who are struggling to pick up wins in the top flight at the moment?
Sergio Aguero has already banged in fourteen league goals this season thanks to some astounding form and he is the focus of a money back special for Man City v Everton betting at online bookmaker Paddy Power.

Manchester City v Everton Betting Tips
It has the look of goals. The Citizens have started to bang them in with a little more proficiency, and punters don’t go relying on the Toffees for clean sheets. Manchester City have recorded just the one clean sheet in their last seventeen Premier League meetings with Everton. That would indicate that there is going to be some value in the Both Teams To Score market for a price of 4/6 with online betting site paddy Power. City are starting to look more settled and improved, and their recent results would echo that. The Citizens have produced four wins and a draw in their last five Premier League outings and they have scored the twelve goals in that sequence.
They do concede though, but convincing wins over Southampton and Sunderland on the road in their last two matches have seen them start to gather some momentum. Will their must-win game against Roma in the Champions League on Wednesday distract them a little here? Regardless, some attention has to be paid to Sergio Aguero and his goalscoring exploits this season. He scored in both meetings with Everton in last season’s top flight and he is up at a price of 3/1 in the first goalscorer market. Well worth a shot as he has scored seven in his last eight league home matches. Aguero has scored 14 Premier League goals this season, which is more goals than Sunderland (13), Burnley (10) and Aston Villa (8) have managed.
The Toffees have been struggling for victories this season, and have only put one on the board in their last five league outings in a W1 D3 L1 record. It is probably fair to say that their style of play and sheer bravery in just going hell for leather at teams deserves more points. But sometimes, their bravado is their downfall at the back in giving away points. Still, they will give most teams a good run for their moment, and Romelu Lukaku scored in both of his Premier League appearances for the Toffees against City. Lukaku is trading at a quote of 2/1 in the anytime goalscorer market for Saturday’s clash at the Etihad.
The Toffees have lost just one of their last ten games in all competitions, so they aren’t taken down very easily. You have to have some concern over Everton at the back though, because they have only recorded three Premier League clean sheets this season and only one of those have come away from Goodison Park. Another factor which may prevent Everton picking up a victory, is the fact that Everton boss Roberto Martinez has gone up against Manchester City ten times before in the Premier League as a manager and has never managed to take three points off the Citizens. Again, this could boil down to a high scoring game with the visitors really playing their part, and both meetings last term went over 2.5 goals, with the Citizens scoring three in each.

Manchester City v Everton Predictions
The Toffees may be the orchestrators of their own downfall in this one. They will probably try to take on City at their own game, but that will leave them open at the back to sucker punches, especially from the in-form Sergio Aguero. The Citizens have the strength and form at the moment to be backable and it is worth taking them to win their fourth league outing on the bounce and keep up the pressure on Chelsea.
