Manchester City are on the brink of something extraordinary. Six wins in a row, the EFL Cup already in the cabinet, an FA Cup final to come, and a Premier League title race still firmly in their grasp. Standing between them and a seventh consecutive win is a battered, bruised Everton side in their brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium. This has all the makings of a fascinating Monday night showdown.

### The Title Race Context

Even if Man City enter Monday’s game six points adrift of Arsenal in the Premier League table, they would have two games in hand — and the current runners-up can fall back on their quintessentially stellar springtime sequence, which has seen them win six games in a row in all competitions and concede just two goals in the process.

### Team News & Injurie

Guardiola revealed that Rodri was “getting better” as he manages a groin problem, but the Spaniard had not trained before Friday and remains doubtful. Centre-backs Josko Gvardiol (calf) and Ruben Dias (thigh) are also still missing. Despite that, the likes of Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and the departing Bernardo Silva should be restored to the starting XI.

On Everton’s end, Man City loanee Jack Grealish has already been ruled out for the rest of the season following foot surgery, alongside long-term absentee Jarrad Branthwaite (thigh). However, Moyes will be boosted by the return of Beto, who has completed concussion protocol — the striker had been in stunning form before his injury, with four goals and one assist in his previous three appearances.

### The Head-to-Head That Says It All

Everton are winless in a staggering 17 Premier League games against Man City, who also prevailed on each of their last eight visits to Goodison Park in the top flight. The Toffees are also walking into this match on the back of two consecutive 2-1 defeats, both sealed by injury-time goals that have clearly dented confidence. [Technosports](https://technosports.co.in/east-bengal-vs-odisha-fc-match-preview-prediction/)

Guardiola vs David Moyes has also been a mismatch down the years — the Man City manager has not lost any of his previous 15 Premier League head-to-heads with the Scotsman, overseeing 12 wins and three draws. The numbers make for brutal reading for Everton fans. [Technosports](https://technosports.co.in/east-bengal-vs-odisha-fc-match-preview-prediction/)

### Match Prediction

City do not need to be blowing teams to smithereens at this stage of the season — they simply need to find ways to win, and that is exactly what Guardiola’s men are doing. A fully rested Haaland returns against a leaking Everton defence. The outcome feels inevitable. [Technosports](https://technosports.co.in/east-bengal-vs-odisha-fc-match-preview-prediction/)

**Our Pick: Everton 1–2 Manchester City.**
