Manchester City v Everton Match Preview
If you placed 100 football experts in a room and asked them to collectively predict the Premier League table at Christmas, not even the wisdom of crowds would manage to share the lack of wisdom surrounding Manchester City.
Another league defeat recorded at the weekend and although you can never truly write off the Etihad outfit in the Premier League in the same way you should never write off the Germans at the World Cup or Euros, City’s 2-1 defeat to Villa does feel like auf Wiedersehen for their title hopes.
Hopes that have been shattered by six league defeats to their name already – each coming within their last eight league outings and just four points from the last 24 on offer provides the tale of tape for Pep Guardiola’s men.
The four-time defending champions now find themselves in a parallel universe where Nottingham Forest are in the Champions League places and Bournemouth have just beaten City’s crosstown rivals comfortably at Old Trafford to move up into fifth.
Only this is not a parallel universe, this is a stark reality for City and the stark reality at the weekend was that they were once again second best to Aston Villa for the second time in successive league seasons.
Last time they lost to Unai Emery’s men they went on a resounding 32-game unbeaten run and swallowed up Arsenal in the pursuit of last season’s crown. This season, they will do well to stitch together a three-game run on the basis of current performances.
Which leads us to Boxing Day and what has to be the reset button for this broken juggernaut. If they are to salvage their campaign, then there needs to be an element of salvation at the expense of visitors Everton.
An Everton side who were stubborn enough to not only hold Chelsea to a bore draw on Sunday but also invertedly do their nearest neighbours a huge favour in stopping the Blues going top for at least a couple of hours.
A draw that comes in the same week where the Toffees can finally announce new ownership and although that could soon mean a change of manager, Sean Dyche would not have done his short-term credentials any harm after his side’s battling performance at the weekend.
But now it is time for the first of my two tips and although I think City will return to winning ways, I do not think this will be a classic. Getting the job done with a home win and under 2.5 total goals offers up odds of 31/10 with Star Sports – just enough to make this Boxing Day clash interesting.
In addition to this, I am also going to back City’s marksman to find the net. No not Erling Haaland but Josko Gvardiol and with the Croatian looking more comfortable in the opposition’s penalty area, I am comfortable in backing him to score anytime at odds of 15/2 with bet365.
