We're not going to win today.
We'll concede early, we won't ever get going, Holgate will score own goal off Keanes arse trying to clear the ball and then Mahrez will come on to finish us off with 2 more classy goals. Iwobi will have been on the pitch but no one noticed. Richarlison will stink the place out and then sulk when hauled off. Gomez...no let's not even go there!
Come on blues proove me wrong!!

The odds just getting worse.....
While many might had hoped that Lampard had learnt from his time at Chelsea – particularly considering the way Thomas Tuchel has since transformed the same group of players into an extremely efficient outfit – if his first four matches are anything to go by, he hasn’t.
Playing expansive football against City is a major risk, as Leeds (lost 7-0) and Leicester (lost 6-3) have found this season.
That the Citizens have scored 18 goals across their last four in all competitions, and some of those against teams employing a structured defensive line (namely Brentford and Tottenham), it is difficult to see this match-up not producing plenty of goals. A top price of 6/4 about OVER 3.5 GOALS is certainly of interest.
The selection would have landed in four of City’s last five in all competitions, as well as is all but one of Lampard’s games as Everton boss.
That the Toffees have also conceded an expected goals against (xGA) total of 6.24 in their three league matches against Newcastle, Leeds and Southampton gives further encouragement to the assumption that City will rack up a fairly high xG total themselves.
Score prediction: Everton 1-4 Man City (Sky Bet odds: 14/1)

Give it a rest, the negativity is so boring.
Just choosing to be a misery is so weird.

the crowd will play their part obviously, but we will lose
I just hope it doesnt affect morale going forward

It's football can happen, even for Everton... I have no victim complex, honest!
Would happily take a point
I’m sure he’ll get a big cheer mate
Make it a bear pit and see what happens
