Godwin ObajeMan City Face Tough Test at Everton, Predict Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist
Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday against Everton, with Pep Guardiola’s men aiming to finish in the top five for the remaining six games of the campaign. Despite their impressive 5-2 victory over Crystal Palace last time out, TNT Sports commentators Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist have made surprise predictions for Man City’s trip to Everton.
Both Ferdinand and McCoist predict a 1-1 draw between the two sides, with McCoist stating that the contest will be “one each.” This prediction comes after Man City struggled against Everton back in December, with the game at the Etihad Stadium finishing 1-1.
The draw would be a significant result for both teams, with Man City looking to gain points in their pursuit of Champions League football. McCoist also expects Man City’s rivals to drop points this weekend, predicting a 2-2 draw between Aston Villa and Newcastle, and a 2-1 defeat for Chelsea at Fulham.
If these results come to fruition, Man City would create a gap on Villa and Chelsea, while going level on points with Newcastle in third. The Citizens will be looking to bring all three points back from Goodison Park, but it won’t be an easy task, given Everton’s good form since the arrival of David Moyes in January.
