Everton - Manchester City

In the most interesting match of the 21st round of the Premier League, Everton takes Manchester City at the "Goodison Park" this Saturday. The odds for the game offered by the bookmaker Bet365 are as follows: 4.20 for a home win, 3.75 for a draw and 1.85 for the victory of the guests. Judge of the meeting will be Martin Atkinson. In the first game between the two teams this season, Manchester City took the victory with 1:0 after a questionable penalty realized by Sergio Aguero.

Everton is in very bad shape lately. Late goal from Romeo Lukaku brings a draw against West Ham at the FA Cup. In the Premier League, Caramels are in a series of four consecutive losses. These results putted them in the second half of the table - 13th place with a total of only 21 points. Roberto Martinez`s team is out of the form from the last season and hardly will be able to intervene in the battle for places entitling participation at tournaments. Everton coaching staff has serious problems with the composition before the game with the champions. Out with injury are the major players of Everton like the goalkeeper Tim Howard, defenders Sylvain Distin and Tony Hibbert and midfielders Darron Gibson, Leon Osman and Steven Pienaar. Also problems with injuries have Leighton Baines and James McCarthy, as both are questionable for the game at "Goodison Park".

Manchester City managed to shorten the gap with the top ranking. Citizens benefited from the mistakes of Chelsea at the festive period and tied on points with them in the first place in the Premier League. However, the shape of the team fell significantly at the last 2-3 matches. This is mainly due to the absence of the top scorer Sergio Aguero. Argentine is close to returning, but this will be possible in the next round derby against Arsenal. Manuel Pellegrini will not be able to rely on the injured Matija Nastasic and Yaya Toure. Toure travelled to his homeland and will take part in the Cup of Africa. Yaya Toure will be placements of citizens in the next one-month and will miss important matches at the title race with Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea. Doubtful for the visit of "Goodison Park" are the captain and a key player at the defence Vincent Kompany and the goal scorer Edin Dzeko.

Before the derbies, Manchester City must do everything possible to take three points against the faltering in the last month Everton. Everton have serious problems with the composition and this is likely to prove decisive for the outcome of the game. Our prediction by soccer predictions is for a guest win at "Goodison Park" at odds of 1.85 at bet365.
