Manchester City - Everton

City are in a good shape, they’re two points far from desired 4^th position (and have a game in hand). They’re without a defeat in last eight competitive games (five draws though) and didn’t score just once in those (vs. Liverpool, 0-0). Their confidence were boosted first after shocking 4-2 win at Stamford, then in last round at Craven Cottage vs. Fulham (2-1). Their main problem through the season is away shape and last round win should be crucial for them. Also, big rewards from club’s board for CL spot shouldn’t be overlooked, regarding their motivation. We’re approaching to the final part of the season and I expect their strong finish. Mancini will have some injury problems in back line. Joleon Lescott is out for four weeks, while Wayne Bridge remains sidelined (Javier Garrido will continue at left-back). Adebayor is suspended.

 

As tonight’s hosts, Toffees are also in up trend. As their big injury crisis started to fade, their results became better. Lately they’re scoring plenty, but also have big problems to keep the clean sheet as they conceded in last nine competitive games. With return of Arteta they improved attacking potential (scored 9 in last 3 Premier games). Also Pienaar plays in a life form in my opinion and I expect his another very good display (should run the riot against Garrido at the right flank). They have problems when play on the road, but good thing for Moyes they actually have no pressure. Maybe can reach Europe, but won’t be a tragedy if stay 8^th. Fellaini and Senderos are injured and it makes their defending potential more vulnerable than usual. Victor Anichebe is having a late fitness test and his place probably will take Saha from the start. Which is actually good.

 

Both teams possess high level of self-confidence currently. And both teams have great attacking potential. City will miss two key defenders and I see a space for Everton. On the other hand Tevez plays in a life shape, Bellamy and young Johnson will produce real trouble for the visitors. I expect goals on both sides. Over 2.5.
