The league just keeps getting better and better. Chief among the most exciting feature in the league right now is the title race between Liverpool and Manchester City. What should have been a foregone conclusion after Newcastle win over Manchester City have suddenly turned to a wonderful chance for Manchester City to draw level at the top with Liverpool. This has been made possible by two consecutive draws by Liverpool. They have a golden opportunity to draw level and put pressure on Liverpool to stay ahead of the pack. However, to achieve this, they would have to beat Everton in their own home.
Manchester City is suddenly flying in the league and they are looking formidable. They are closing the game with Liverpool and nothing seems to be on their way. They are currently just three points behind Liverpool and would draw level with them if they should win Everton on Wednesday. There is no doubt that this match would be crucial to their chances in the league. After their convincing win against Arsenal, they would be feeling pretty confident about their ability to take all the spoils against Everton.
Everton, on the other hand, are currently not nowhere near the levels of Manchester City. They are currently in 9th position in the league. They have amassed 33 points after 25 matches. It has been far from perfect in then in the league. They would be hoping that their home advantage would be enough to propel the results to their side. Everton would also be hoping that a win here today would be a boost to their confidence and their style of play. However, they would be wary of the fact that Manchester City are currently chasing the title and it would be disastrous to be complacent going into this match.
The form of both teams going into these matches are clearly different. Everton has won three of their last six games. The remaining matches have ended in losses. Everton has lost three of their last four games. They would be looking for a way to change their recent fortunes. However, the form of Manchester City would be a source of concern for Everton. Manchester City has won their last five matches out of six games. Their only loss came against Newcastle in their previous game. Manchester City would fancy their chances in the league if they can go all the way and win their remaining fixtures in the league starting from Everton.
Pep Guardiola is aiming to defend the premier league title for the first time in almost ten years. They would have to pull all the barricades if they want to achieve this. As for Everton, a win would definitely mean a significant change in their outlook. The league is delicately poised. Any slip up by both teams would give the advantage to another. At the end of the day, it is just one team which would come out victorious at the end.
