Manchester City will be looking to continue their good run of form when they face Everton on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens have won their last four games in all competitions and are six points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea after the 4-1 victory at Sunderland in midweek. Last weekend Man City defeated second-placed Southampton 3-0 at St Mary's.
The match against Everton comes before a big appointment for Manuel Pellegrini's men, which is next week's decisive match against Roma in the Champions League. Everton are not doing too well lately, they were held to a home draw by Hull City in midweek and dropped to the bottom half of the league table.
James McCarthy remains out for the Toffees, along with John Stones, Antolin Alcaraz, Darron Gibson and Steven Naismith. Then home side will be without captain Vincent Kompany due to a hamstring strain but the Belgian could recover before next week's Champions League clash. David Silva will most likely remain out while Edin Dzeko and Aleksander Kolarov will surely miss out.
Probable line-ups:
Man City: Hart - Zabaleta, Mangala, Demichelis, Clichy - Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Nasri - Jovetic, Aguero
Everton: Howard - Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines - Besic, Barry - Mirallas, Barkley, Pienaar - Lukaku
My prediction: Man City to win 2-1.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Man City win - 1/2 Draw - 15/4 Everton win - 6/1

Manchester is real favorite for title this season, and they are showing to us their potential from the match to the match. They have powerful squad, really good manager, and I believe that they have a potentional to dominate the Premier league, despites Chelsea good run.

I think that now is most important time for clubs in England, and it is very important to win matches in this period... Soon they will play a lot of matches around New year and maybe this is time when we will find out who will be new champions of England... For Man city is important that they are in great form and I expect...

For Man city is important that they are in great form and I expect that they continue to win even without Kun Aguero

I think that is big win for Manchester city, they cut Chelsea lead on only 3 points and I think that if they continue to play like this they will be champions of England. Only problem is that Aguero's injury. I heard somewhere that he will be out six mounts and I really don't know can anybody replace him.

Manchester city is big favorite here and I think that they will win without conceded goal. I think that after three wins in a row Manchester city is in great for, they have a lot of confidence and on their stadium they shouldn't have any problem to win this match. Everton is great team but they played only 1-1 with Hull...
