Everton and Manchester City on Wednesday, February 6, a clash isolated by the English Premier League in its 2018/2019 season. The clash is part of the schedule of the twenty-seventh round and was anticipated to accommodate the swelling calendar of the Manchester team, which has to split into four competitions and will decide at the end of the month the League Cup title of England. Starting at 17:45 (GMT), the meeting will be held at the Goodinson Park stadium in Liverpool.
Everton
Tight schedule is not a problem for Everton. Eliminated both in the League Cup and in the FA Cup and having failed to get a place in any continental tournament in the previous season, the blue team of Liverpool have only the commitments set by the table of the English Championship until the end of the season.Meeting the table is just what the team has to do. With 33 points (nine wins, six draws and ten losses), Everton occupy ninth place in the Premier League. Ambering the classification for continental tournaments does not seem to be viable. Manchester United, fifth placed, who closes this block, has 15 points more. With 13 days to go, the situation is irreversible in practice.The relegation is not a threat either. The difference in relation to Cardif, eighteenth place and first in the sticking region, is 11 points. As teams on the bottom of the leaderboard are even more difficult to score points, Everton must use the remaining games as a way to start the 2019/2020 season.The problem is that even for this the clashes are useless. That is because there is no certainty regarding the permanence of the Portuguese coach Marco da Silva in charge. After receiving a number of reinforcements, the coach was unable to deploy a consistent and efficient gaming system.Everton has even better numbers, but not much. It is the eighth best in this issue in the English Championship. Of the 39 points played at Goodinson Park, he won 21 (six wins, three draws and four losses).For Wednesday’s meeting, veteran defender Phil Jagielka (two matches in the 2018/2019 English League season, without a goal), injured, was denied participation by the medical department. In injury treatment, defenders Leighton Baines (six games, no goal) and Yerry Mina (ten games, one goal) are in doubt; and midfielder Idrissa Gueye (20 games, no goal).

On Sunday, February 3, Manchester City opened the month’s schedule by beating Arsenal 3-1 in the Premier League’s twenty-second round. It was the first of seven appointments he will have in the month.He reached the 59-point mark (19 wins, two wins and four draws) reducing to three points the difference separating him from Liverpool, who on Monday, February 4, only drew with West Ham in London, by 1 to 1. In this way, it will be able to take the lead, according to the criteria of tiebreaker, if it surpasses the Everton that Wednesday, although with a game more than the red ones.As a visitor, however, City is the third in the Premier League. Of the 36 points played in this condition, won 23 (seven wins, two draws and three losses). Well below Tottenham (33) and Liverpool (30), who made one more match as column two.For the meeting, coach Pep Guardiola probably will not be able to count on the coach Claudio Bravo (without performances in season 2018/2019 of the English Championship, without goal); and with defenders Vincent Kompany (nine games, no goal) and Benjamin Mendy (nine games, no goal), which follow the care of the medical department.

Everton has had modest results lately and is likely to drop in the second half of the standings. In 25 stages he already has more defeats (10) than wins (9), 36 goals scored and still received. Now he will play the Manchester City game in advance and remains to be seen if he can help his city rival, Liverpool.”Carameles” have only one success in the previous six matches played on Goodison Park. They do not have the most beautiful memories in front of the en-titre champion. Everton has lost the last two disputes with City by 1-3.

Manchester City
Last result: 3-1 vs Arsenal
Form: W L W W W
An important chance for Manchester City. The enquire champion can take advantage of Liverpool’s four points lost in the last two stages, and in the event of a victory, he gets the first place. Citizens would equal points on the cormorants, but will pass over opponents thanks to the goal. However, they will have an extra game played!City won five of the last six disputes in the Premier League. The failure came, surprisingly, midway through the past week: 1-2 with Newcastle. Guardiola’s stars quickly recovered and won the derby with Arsenal. Kun Aguero gave the recital and managed a hat-trick in front of the tuners. Most likely, the Argentine will remain on the bench in confrontation with Everton, his first place being taken by Gabriel Jesus. He managed a double in the tournament with “caramels”.

Football Prediction of the Day Everton vs Manchester City
City have won their last two matches against Everton. Both finished with the score of 3 to 1. The most recent was for the first round of the English Championship version 2018/2019.
Everton seems to have completely lost interest in the competition and has acted without great intensity. Faced with a much superior team like Manchester City, maintaining that position does not indicate much chance of success. Thus, the prognosis in the victory of the visitors is the best option for the confrontation of this Wednesday by the twenty-seventh round of the English Championship in its 2018/2019 season.
