Manchester City will feel that the return of Aguero has slowly seen their offence get back into the rhythm which they established before he got injured. De Bruyne, Aguero, Silva, Toure and Sterling make for a solid 5 players who can come up with goals and create for the others from any corner of the pitch. They make Fernandinho sit in the midfield ahead of the back 4 for insurance, but that back 4 has been conceding goals and has done so in 7 out of their last 8 games. While they were conceding, the scoring wasn't consistent but that has improved over the last few games.


On the Everton side they showed their improvement in recent games beating Man City 2-1 in the Capital One Cup last week, and will be aiming to continue to do the same in this encounter. They have relied a lot on Lukaku, Barkley, Kone and Deulofeu to come up consistently with the goods for them, but can always change it around adding McGeady, Mirallas or Lennon on the wings to give an extra injection of pace. Defensively Everton have been quite poor since Jagielka has gone down. He has now passed a game in the FA Cup, but it will be difficult for them to get their understanding back together with Stones so quickly against a top offensive unit in Everton.


This is definitely going to be the encounter of the mid-week fixtures, and hopefully the goals will be around to entertain us, and I am backing over 3 goals.


OVER 2.5 GOALS AND BOTH TEAM TO SCORE
