The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Everton lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in an important encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have been inconsistent so far this season and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Manchester City vs Everton Preview
Everton are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Toffees held Chelsea to an admirable 0-0 stalemate in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been shockingly poor over the past year. The home side slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
