The Citizens went into the break in unbeaten in their last seven games and will be heavy favourites to extend that run when they host a confident Everton side at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
While City’s season is beginning to build momentum, Everton have shown signs of life under David Moyes, who has overseen a sharp upturn in results.
The Toffees head to Manchester sitting comfortably in mid-table after a solid run of six wins in their last ten Premier League matches.

Manchester City to win
Despite early-season inconsistencies, City have rediscovered their rhythm and now look every bit the powerhouse expected under Pep Guardiola.
The Citizens have won seven of their last eight Premier League home games, with both of their most recent Etihad outings ending in victories by three or more goals. Historically, they’ve dominated this fixture and are unbeaten in 16 straight league meetings with Everton (W13, D3) since 2017.
Everton’s improvement under Moyes shouldn’t be dismissed, but his record against top-tier opposition remains bleak, with just one win in 58 Premier League away games against sides that finished in the top three the previous season. Even with Rodri a doubt, City’s attack should have enough to maintain their grip on this fixture.
Tip: Manchester City win @ 2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Manchester City beats Everton regardless of the scoreline.
Everton to score
While City’s clean-sheet record at home has improved, Everton’s recent offensive form suggests they can find a way through.
The Toffees have scored in six of their last seven away matches, and Iliman Ndiaye’s goal involvement, having scored and assisted for Senegal during the break, adds an extra dimension to their counter-attacking threat.
City have also shown a slight vulnerability before the interval, with all three home league goals conceded this season arriving between the 31st and 45th minute. That stat, combined with Everton’s growing attacking confidence, makes backing the visitors to grab a goal at 18/25 a sensible option.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Everton score at least one goal against Manchester City.
Erling Haaland to score
No surprise here. Erling Haaland’s consistency continues to defy logic as the Norwegian has scored in each of his last five Premier League appearances, taking his tally to nine league goals already this season. The 25-year-old also hit a hat-trick for Norway during the international break.
He has netted each of his last five home goals after half-time, showing his knack for striking late.
Given City’s dominance at the Etihad and Haaland’s form, this looks one of the most reliable bets of the weekend.
Tip: Erling Haaland to score (33/50 with Bet365)
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Erling Haaland scores against Everton.
