Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  1. Home advantage

    Edge: Even

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Everton. That narrows the gap but does not cancel Man City's extra quality.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Goals

    3.1 expected goals is above the league average, and over 2.5 goals lands 61% of the time in our simulations.

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Man City

    Man City rate clearly higher and the draw is only 18%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Everton

Everton are a practical mid-table side: solid without the ball at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but lacking the creativity to run a game.

Away

Manchester City

Man City are built to dominate the ball. They should have most of the possession on their trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium and keep Everton pinned in their own half for long spells.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Man City name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Everton score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Everton vs Man City match preview

Everton host Manchester City in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Man City. The expected-goals gap (0.84 for Everton, 2.30 for Man City) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 70% for Man City comes from. Everton's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
