Everton prepare to entertain Manchester City at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 39 and lost only 15 of the 77 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in December 2004, the Blues carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premiership match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Blues's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Man City. Home Win
