Everton are currently in 17th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Toffees thrashed Brighton & Hove Albion by a 5-1 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been impressive this season. The Cityzens were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Madrid in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
- Manchester City have a good historical record against Everton and have won 78 out of the 194 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Everton's 68 victories.
- Everton have won only one of their last 19 matches against Manchester City in the Premier League, with their only victory during this period coming by a 4-0 margin in 2017.
- Manchester City have won their last five matches away from home against Everton in the Premier League - as many victories as they had managed in the 26 such games preceding this run.
- Everton held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture and could avoid defeat in both Premier League games against the Cityzens in a single season for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign.
