[Micky_T]

So far this season Man City have already drawn against Forest, Villa, Everton. They love dropping points against teams around the relegation zone.

Prediction:
Everton 0 - 3 Man City
27' Haarland
58' Mahrez
63' Álvarez

They'll give it everything on Sunday, but it's only human nature to priortise what you haven't achieved before over what you have achieved a few times.

Pep will get them fired up for us, but players wont want to miss a CL SF 2nd leg and one of the biggest nights of their careers.

Just set them a few questions about how much they want to risk carrying a knock and miss out. Any team would do that. It's basic stuff.

This will be their 60th game this season in all competitions. As much as they can rotate, that's a lot of games and it's shown in their performances of late in the more frenetic PL.

This doesn't sound like a step too far. There's something there for us IMO.

Folks saying they'll field a weakened team obviously don't know the depth of quality players they have.
If its mainly players that didn't play tonight you can guarantee they'll be super fit and ready to play.

Hope they do rest the likes of Debruyne tho.

Yeah that’s always the issue against these money teams, they do field a weakened team but people forget that we will field a weakened in team in comparison to their weakened team

Dyche record v Guardiola - played 15, drew 1 lost 14

You didnt state if that was 14 losses for Dyche or Guardiola.

I should be so lucky. My bday isn't till November

Should we manage to beat Sitteh, you need to tell Mrs Nymzee that Everton have brought you an early birthday present & she ought to join the party.

You won't know yourself, Everton victorious over one of the best clubs in Europe followed by sex.

This prediction took an unexpected twist

 

[Swartzy]

Need to take mahrez out in the first 10 if he's playing..

 

[billybadger]

Anthony Taylor as ref and Craig Pawson on VAR….as if it’s not tough enough as it is

 

[barneygumble]

He won’t change it, and rightly so, because they were brilliant against Brighton.

The way City play means we’ll be playing as if we’re an away side anyway, you just have to hope we are ready.

Of the 3 remaining games, this probably has the least significance because of City’s current run, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything? The last side to take something from City Domestically? Nottingham Forest… who also sat in, soaked up pressure and him them on the counter.

Expectation of a result is easily 1/10, and I hope the result doesn’t crush spirits.

We'll win this and go on to lose againsg Bournemouth.

 

[Bluebirdie]

100 percent positive both managers will field weekend teams here.

 

[Cjplennon]

Im at the game on Sunday and planning to try and park near BMD, check out the site, have a beer in the Bramley Moore and walk to Goodison Park.
Anyone have any tips on best place to park in that area and any views on The Bramley Moore pub.

 

[Ebrell22]

5 - 0 Mcneil hat-trick

 

[Marius57]

We'll win this and go on to lose againsg Bournemouth.

Happy with that. Win this and we are likely safe.

 

[Kaiser Soysauce]

No red cards.
No injuries.
No confidence/goal difference hammering.

Then praying we can get 4 points from Wolves and Bournemouth.

We might not need 4. The others have tough runs! I'm in the brace position for the rest of the season. My back is going to be in bits, but hopefully my brain will be happy.

Everton......
