Football Bet of the Day: Toffees won't help City defence out of sticky patch

Manchester City v Everton
Wednesday 19:45

Blackburn 1 QPR 1 in Lancashire last night. Crucially, the first goal came for the visitors before the break.

At least we don't have to go far for tonight's match, in which a similar result would be no bad thing.

Backing both teams to score has been the right thing to do in each of Manchester City's last eight Premier League games at the Etihad. Once again, Manuel Pellegrini is without Vincent Kompany and the captain is likely to be sorely missed at the back.

Everton have scored in six straight league games on the road. The Toffees' scoring streak is 11 in a row, including home games, and we fancy them to make it a round dozen in Manchester tonight.

Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.664/6 in Manchester City v Everton
