My Everton vs Manchester City best bet: Manchester City to win and Everton not to score (+155 at Sports Interaction)
The pressure is on Manchester City after Arsenal’s win on Saturday. They’ll be happy to see an Everton side they’ve defeated in each of their last nine meetings.
City rank second in the Premier League in both shots on target and conversion rate per match. They’ll score against an Everton defense allowing opponents to score 90.24% of their goals inside the penalty area.
On the flip side, Everton are underperforming their xG by 7.07 goals. Their 39 goals are the fifth fewest in the league.

Rayan Cherki 1+ shots on target

James Tarkowski and Erling Haaland will be a physical matchup, and Tarkowski is likely to get whistled at least once for a foul. He’s committed seven fouls over his last six matches.
