Preamble by Scott Murray :
Everton are in their famous royal blue, while Manchester City sport their third-choice Barratt’s Fruit Salad homage.
Manchester City have scored 24 goals in the Premier League already this season. That’s taken six matches. At a rate of four goals a game. Everton are hereby permitted to take one hard, loud, long, theatrical gulp.
Not least because their last two performances in the league have been poor. A quiet capitulation at Bournemouth, a miserable struggle against Sheffield United at home. A midweek cakewalk at Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup has given under-fire Marco Silva some breathing room, though few expect his team, very much a work in progress, to beat the champions tonight. They’re 9-1 against, on their own turf.
But this is football, and there’s always hope. It’s not as though Everton are desperately short of talent, and these guys have surely got to click into life sometime. Additionally, Pep Guardiola may approach Goodison Park this evening with a little trepidation, given an early version of his City side went down here 4-0 just a couple of years ago, the worst league defeat of his entire managerial career. So you never know. Twenty-four goals in six games, though. Twenty-four!
Can City close the gap at the top on Liverpool? Or will Everton do themselves - and their Merseyside rivals - a solid? It’s set up deliciously. It’s on!Walcott has taken a clout from the ball and is replaced by Iwobi on '7.
