We said: Everton 0-3 Manchester City
Everton failed to breach Southampton's backline last weekend, so finding the net against the Premier League's tightest defence could prove challenging on Saturday. Even if the Toffees were to score, Man City are deadly at the other end, having scored at least twice in 17 of their 26 league games this term. A comfortable three points for Guardiola's men could be on the cards at Goodison. Read more.Data Analysis
