Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League meetings with Everton (W13 D3) since a 0-4 defeat at Goodison Park in January 2017. Only against Fulham (20), West Brom (19), and West Ham (19) are the Citizens currently on a longer unbeaten run in the competition.

Everton are winless in their last 14 away Premier League games against Manchester City (D6 L8) since a 2-1 victory in December 2010 during David Moyes’ first spell in charge. Only at Man Utd (20), Liverpool (20), Arsenal (24), and Chelsea (30) have they ever had longer winless away runs in the competition.

Under David Moyes, Everton have never won a Premier League away game against a side that finished the previous season in the division’s top three (P36 D12 L24). Indeed, Moyes has won just one of 58 such games in the competition with all his clubs (D14 L43), beating Arsenal 2-0 with West Ham in December 2023.

In 2025, Manchester City are averaging more points-per-game in the Premier League than any other side (2.04 – 53 in 26). They are the league’s top scorers this calendar year (55 goals), and have picked up the joint-most wins (16, level with Liverpool).

Everton have won six of their last 10 Premier League games (D2 L2), as many as their previous 27 beforehand (D13 L8). The Toffees have also won four of their last seven away league matches (L3), after having only won three of their previous 26 prior to this (D10 L13).

Manchester City have won seven of their last eight Premier League home games, losing the other 0-2 against Tottenham Hotspur in August. The Citizens have won their last two at the Etihad by a 3+ goal margin, last doing so three times in a row in May 2024.

Manchester City are averaging 57.6% possession and making 541 passes per game in the Premier League this season – these are the lowest figures by a Pep Guardiola side in any of the Spaniard’s seasons as a top-flight manager with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and the Citizens.

David Moyes has lost each of his last eight Premier League away games against Manchester City across spells with Manchester United (1 game), Sunderland (1), and West Ham (6), last avoiding defeat at the Etihad with current side Everton in December 2012. Only against Liverpool (ongoing run of 10) has Moyes ever endured a longer losing run away from home against any side in the competition.

Erling Haaland has scored nine goals in Manchester City’s seven Premier League games this season; a goal here will make this only the third instance of a player reaching 10+ goals in a side’s first eight games of a season in the competition, with the Norwegian himself already responsible for the first two (6th game in 2022-23, 5th game in 2024-25).

Rodri was substituted with an injury in Manchester City’s last Premier League game against Brentford. Since the start of 2021-22, the Citizens have lost 14 of their 48 league matches without Rodri featuring, picking up 1.8 points-per-game, compared to just eight defeats in 111 games with the Spaniard, averaging 2.4 points per game.
