English Premier
2012-12-01 - Manchester City vs Everton
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Champions Manchester City will aim to put more pressure on Manchester United as they welcome Everton in this clash at the Etihad Stadium and with United not playing until the evening kick-off at Reading, City can go top of the Premiership with a win here.
This match becomes important for City considering that it comes just before they take on Manchester United in the Manchester derby clash and could prove crucial in deciding the title race. But Everton will have other ideas coming into this match and after dropping out of the top four in the Premiership, David Moyes will want his side to get back into a Champions League spot.
While Manchester City managed to beat Wigan in midweek, Everton managed to hold Arsenal to a draw which was their sixth draw in eight matches. In that period, Everton have managed just one win and Moyes will be aware that his side is slowly slipping up from their targetted Champions League spot.
Everton will be hoping that their good record against City can come into play here as they were the last team to win a Premier League game at the Etihad back in December 2010.
