Half-time conclusion:
After the first 45 minutes, Manchester City and Everton FC are 0-0. As in the previous week, the home team is finding it difficult to create chances against a low-lying opponent. Pep Guardiola’s team fired nine shots on goal, but didn’t get any of them on target. The guests concentrated on defense and were therefore rarely seen in the opponent’s penalty area.

Everton FC have been without a win in the league for six games. After three defeats at the end of the year (including 1:3 against City), there were at least three draws at the start of the new year. Initially, Sean Dyche’s team couldn’t get past a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa and Fulham FC. Most recently, the Toffees drew 2-2 against Tottenham Hotspur with a last-minute goal from Jarrad Branthwaite. The starting eleven remains unchanged.
12:48
City had a hard time converting their chances against Brentford FC last week. In the end, Pep Guardiola’s team won 3-1 after being 1-0 down thanks to three goals from Phil Foden. In comparison, there are four changes. Jérémy Doku, Matheus Nunes, Manuel Akanji and John Stones start for Kyle Walker, Joško Gvardiol, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.

The home side (2nd) are breathing down the neck of league leaders FC Liverpool, just two points behind. “The Sky Blues” played one game less than Jürgen Klopp’s team. With a win they will put further pressure on the Reds, who are hosting Burnley this afternoon. For Everton (19th), however, it is about nothing less than staying in the league. The saving bank is only one meter away and is in sight.
