Manchester Sunday

Form:
Everton : LWDWLW
Man City: WWLWWW

H2H:
Everton won 1, drew 3 and lost twice against Man city.
Most recent encounter was 1-1 draw at man city and 0-0 the next recent game.

Goals Scored/Conceded(last 6 games):
Everton: 10/ 6
Man City: 14/ 3


Prediction:
Everton are sitting 7th in the table, pretty respectable, and they do have a pretty decent record at home losing just 1 out of their last 10 home games. They are also very tight at the back conceding just 7 in 10 games. They do draw quite a bunch tho. Everton only didn’t managed to score at home twice this season, once in the league cup against norwich, and once against Liverpool. Other than that, they haven’t been scoring a bunch, usually clocking just 1 or 2 goals.
Man City are sitting 5th in the table and Pep would not be please about that. They have pretty good away record, winning 7 out of their last 10, and scoring an average of 2.2 goals. Man city failed to find the net away 3 times this season against Barcelona, Man Utd and Liverpool on new year’s eve.

I expect Man City not able to drop any more points, especially in a crucial stage in this league campaign where the top teams are consistently winning. Going for a simple Man City win


Man City 1x2 

Form:
Man Utd : WWWWWW
Liverpool: LDDWWW

H2H:
Man Utd won 3 out of the last 6 games, drawing twice and liverpool winning once, noting that game liverpool won was in the Europa league.

Goals Scored/Conceded(last 6 games):
Man Utd: 15/ 2
Liverpool: 8/ 4


Prediction:
Man Utd are in super hot form winning their last 9 games. However, the only strong opponent would be Tottenham, while the rest are all mid to bottom table teams. This game against Liverpool will prove their worth. Man Utd are sitting 6th in the table desperately need more points to get into the top 4. They haven’t been scoring a bunch, but have the 3rd best defense in the league conceding 19 in their 20 games. They are currently on a 11 unbeaten match run in the EPL.
Liverpool are sitting at 4th in the table, just 5 points adrift of Chelsea at time of analysis(before Leicester v Chelsea). They have scored most goals in the Epl, scoring 48 in 20 games.

This looks like a game Man United are looking to win to close the gap at the top. And just basing on the form of the teams, Man Utd are looking good for a narrow win.

Man United 1x2
