Manchester City vs Everton will kick off on August 22nd at 3:00 p.m. It's a round 2 match, who can make it 2 wins in a row between the landlord Manchester City, who won the first round, and the newcomer Everton?
Everton's reinforcement frenzy this summer
Although the team chose to sell the team's top scorer Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, but Everton's investment in the transfer market this summer is clear for all to see, Everton has spent a total of more than 130 million pounds this summer to attract reinforcements, in particular, the cost of 45 million pounds of the team's record price of £ 45 million from the Swansea brought in the "sniper" Sigurdsson, last season, for Swansea 38 games contributed 9 goals and 13 assists, he is the "XMAN" can enhance the team's level, along with Michael Keane, Pifford, Claassen, and Michael Keenan. For Swansea 38 games contributed 9 goals and 13 assists, he can be called to enhance the team's grade "XMAN", plus Michael Keane, Pickford, Klaassen, Aung Yee Koo Loo, Sandro, Martina and other heavyweight new recruits and the team's legendary Rooney's return, Everton's strength this season is unprecedentedly strong, part of the media that They will even join the ranks of title contenders, the Premier League will be staged this season, "seven warring states" play.
Luxurious Man City has concerns
Manchester City has never been short of money, and with the full support of Sheikh Mansour behind him, Pep Guardiola can buy as much as he wants in this "premium" market. This summer, Manchester City is determined to make a big change in the team, as soon as the transfer window opened, the club announced the departure of Caballero, Sagna, Zabaleta and other veteran players, which also shows the team's confidence in this transfer window. Soon after the first signing was born, with £ 43 million to take Monaco brain Bernardo Silva, followed by 40 million euros from Benfica to bring in Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, and then in the back line to take Kyle Walker, Danilo and Mendy, costing more than 100 million pounds, Manchester City will be the overall age of the city reduced by three years at once. Man City vs Everton, the home team is undoubtedly more powerful.
But City's problem is the release of Clichy Kolarov Zabaleta and Sagna - all of last season's first-team wingbacks, taking into account the new left back Mendy's injury, City's back line is still the hidden problem of insufficient personnel, the game may be enabled to start the left back Danilo cameo.
be at a disadvantage in a contest
Manchester City have failed to beat Everton in their last 3 meetings, and last season they were swept away by Everton 0-4 - Guardiola suffered one of the worst losses of his coaching career, and I believe Guardiola himself has a strong desire for revenge this time around. Man City vs Everton, Man City's goal is not only 3 points, or a sound victory.
Injuries and predicted starters
Man City predicted starters: Ederson/Kompany, Stones, Otamendi/Walker, Silva, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Danilo/Aguero, Jesus
One of the new left-backs, Mendy, is out with an injury and veteran injury victim Gündogan is expected to return.
Everton predicted starters: Pickford/Michael Keane, Williams, Jagielka/Levin, Schneiderlin, Guyer, Baines/Sigurdsson, Rooney, Sandro
Everton's star midfielder Barkley, right back Coleman and center back Murray will miss out due to injury.
Winning and Losing Analysis
This is a strong game for City, facing Everton, who have more serious injuries and changes in their starting lineup, I'm going to give City at least a 2-goal win at home in the Man City vs Everton game.
