City to win by two

Manchester City are prolific on the Etihad, averaging 2.7 objectives of their 10 residence league matches this season while Everton have scored simply eleven in 10 within the league away from residence.

The over 2.5 goals market is 4/11 but the Asian Handicap of Man City -2 at 5/4 has caught our consideration. City have received each of the final 4 conferences, three of them by a 3-1 scoreline, and it’s straightforward to see them repeating that at 10/1.

City have kept a clear sheet in only two of their previous 10 outings and have conceded in all but two of the previous 15 matches in all competitions, towards Arsenal and Sheffield United.

Everton haven’t kept a clean sheet away from residence in the league because the goalless draw with Crystal Palace on the opening day of the season and each groups to score is 4/6, while adding a City win is 13/10.

Calvert-Lewin continues to shine

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has sparked into life since the sacking of Marco Silva in early December. The striker scored his seventh and eighth league targets of the season towards Newcastle and has scored five in six beneath interim boss Duncan Ferguson and Ancelotti.

City’s defence remains to be conceding goals and Calvert-Lewin to attain at any time at 3/1 is tempting. The traditional suspects will all be looking to get on the scoresheet for City, but our choose is Raheem Sterling anytime at 5/6 to add to his 11 league objectives this season.
