Manchester City v Everton Premier League Betting Preview

Away games at Fulham are a tricky proposition; just ask Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United players.  So when Manchester City travelled to Craven Cottage at the weekend all three points were far from a guarantee. The fact that they came away with a maximum return is a sign of how seriously they should be taken in the race for fourth place. Under Mark Hughes these were the types of games where City would have faltered, with Mancini at the helm they are now a more professional and resolute outfit that know how to win ugly when they need to.

This Wednesday’s game against Everton will be another stern test for Mancini as The Toffees have their own aspirations of European football next season. Midfielder Mikel Arteta has thrown down the gauntlet to his teammates this week by asking them to go out and win six of their remaining eight games in order to secure a Europa League spot for next season.

City maintain the only undefeated home record in the Premier League this season and thus it is no surprise that they are the 10/11 favourites with Bet365 (Go to Bet365 ») to win here. Everton will be clinging to the theory that there is a first time for everything and you can back them at 7/2 with Totesport (Go to Totesport »). This is a hugely important game for both sides and one that will go a long way to determining the final make-up of the Premier League's European representatives for next season.
