Manchester City return to Premier League action this weekend as they face Frank Lampard’s Everton side on Saturday.
City will be nervously looking over their shoulder as their once 12 points lead has been narrowed down to just three points after their closest challenger, Liverpool, thrashed Leeds United 6-0 on Wednesday night.
Guardiola’s men will be looking to bounce back after a shock 2-3 home defeat against Antonio Conte’s inconsistent Spurs side. With Liverpool in Carabao Cup final action this weekend, it is a chance for City to widen the gap to 6 points if they win this weekend.
Everton are in brewing relegation troubles themselves; they currently sit 16th in the table, just two points ahead of the drop zone.
Frank Lampard will have to rally his troops after yet another disappointing result last time out, a 2-0 defeat by Ralph Hassenhuttl’s Southampton.
Although the form book will have City as massive favourites for this game, Everton are not to be underestimated, with threats provided from their attacking duo of Richarlison and England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and January midfield signings of Donny Van de Beek and Dele Alli looking to get their Everton career going, The toffees will provide a stern test for Guardiola’s men.
