Everton can at least give themselves a chance for a possible place in the final with a result here before they visit the Etihad for the second leg of this capital one cup semis. No matter how bad this Everton team might have been, they are still pretty difficult to beat. And when the citizens of Manchester visits, there is an extra motivation to up your game. Everton have only suffered 2 losses in the last 12 games in all competition. The first was against Leicester who needed 2 penalties to see off the game and then Stoke who also won the game courtesy of a late penalty.


City might have won here earlier this season but this is certainly a knock out tournament so a positive result remains a priority for both sides. They are coming from a 2-1 win over Watford in the weekend although that was their first away win in the league since September. The manager may make a few change to the side that starts here but am sure he would field players that can possibly get the Job done. City don't have that much of injury worry except for Skipper Vincent Kompany who remains sidelined through injury. Samir Nasri is also injured but he hasn't really contributed much to them this season.


Its a first leg tie so I don't think either side would look to come out here and blow their chances of making it to the final. A draw would suit both sides as City would be OK with the result as they look to finish the Job at the Etihad stadium but Everton ought not be underestimated as they can even get a win here. If Everton would be more efficient with taking their chances here, I think they can win but I just don't expect them to lose out here. GL!

HOME WIN OR DRAW......
