Manchester City vs Everton LIVE Football Score 23 May 2021
LAWRO’S PREDICTION
This is City’s last game before the Champions League final, and I think Pep Guardiola has got to play the team he will use in that game.
Pep needs to keep his side ticking over and City have to forget about the fact that some of their players might get injured.
Even a win is unlikely to be enough to earn a Europa League spot for Everton, but they have a chance of seventh place if they get a positive result. I don’t see it though.
The Toffees have been much better on the road all season, but it is a big ask for them to go to the Etihad and get something.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
- Manchester City have won the past six league meetings.
- They also beat Everton 2-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals this season.
