The draw is priced at 6.05/1.

Manchester City lost their last Premier League meeting with Everton 0-4. It was Pep Guardiola's heaviest ever defeat in league competition as a manager. Everton are 12.5 to win again.

Indeed, it was Everton's biggest ever Premier League win over Man City, with the Toffees scoring with all four of their shots on target. Over 3.5 goals is 2.68/5.

Everton last won back to back matches against Manchester City in May 2011, when they won four in a row. You can lay Manchester City at 1.321/3.

Pep Guardiola's side have lost just one of their last 22 home Premier League games (W13 D8 L1), which was against eventual champions Chelsea in December 2016. City are 1.3130/100 to win.

Wayne Rooney's goal on the opening day against Stoke was his 199th in the Premier League, putting him one away from becoming only the second player to bag 200 in the competition after Alan Shearer (260). Rooney is 5.75 to score.

Only Alan Shearer (11) has scored more goals against Manchester City in the Premier League than Wayne Rooney (8). He's 14.013/1 to score the first goal.

Sergio Aguero has failed to score in his last six Premier League appearances against Everton, his longest current drought versus a top-flight side. Under 2.5 goals is 2.486/4.

Aguero needs one more goal to become the all-time highest ever non-European goalscorer in Premier League history - he's currently level with Dwight Yorke on 123 goals. He's 1.84/5 to find the net.

Before last season, Pep Guardiola had beaten every club he'd faced in league competition within his first two meetings against them. Everton are now looking to become the first team he's failed to beat in any of his first three matches. You can back the visitors at 10.519/2 in the Draw No Bet market.
