Manchester City must navigate a visit to Everton if they hope to keep pace with Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
They enter Monday’s bank holiday with two matches in hand and a six-point gap behind the Gunners, but have won six straight in all competitions.
I explain why they’ll hand the Toffees a third straight defeat in my Everton vs. Manchester City predictions and free betting picks on Monday, May 4.
Premier League predictions for Everton vs Manchester City
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.
They’ll be shut out by a Man City defense allowing just 3.33 SOT per match.
Everton vs Manchester City same-game parlay (SGP)
Manchester City to win/Everton not to score
Rayan Cherki 1+ shots on target
James Tarkowski 1+ fouls
Rayan Cherki is in top form. He attempted a season-high eight shots against Burnley, testing the keeper twice.
He’s managed a shot on target in four straight Premier League outings, and in six of his last eight matches across all competitions.
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.
Tarkowski has committed a foul in four of the last five meetings with Manchester City, with the lone exception being last season when he came off injured early in the second half.
