Prediction of Manchester City vs Everton January 2, 2020

Rank 3 and defending champion Manchester City will host 10th Everton at the Etihad Stadium in Week 21 of the 2019/20 Etihad StadiumThursday (01/01/2020). Josep Guardiola will meet again with Carlo Ancelotti, the opponent who carved the wound in their last meeting.

Guardiola had previously faced Ancelotti twice, and always lost. The two meetings were presented in the leg of the 2013/14 Champions League semi-final round two, when Guardiola handled Bayern Munich, and Ancelotti handled Real Madrid. Guardiola lost 0-1 (away) and 0-4 (home).

Guardiola certainly wants to improve the record. In addition, Guardiola also needs to bring his team to run even though it was left far from Liverpool.

New City beat Sheffield United 2-0 at Etihad Stadium on Monday (12/30/2019). Kevin De Bruyne contributed one goal and one assist, while Sergio Aguero scored one goal, and Riyad Mahrez designed one assist.

City want a victory in its first fight in a new year. However, that won't be easy.

Ancelotti, who was appointed as Everton's new manager after the sacking of Marco Silva, immediately showed satisfying work. In his first two matches, Ancelotti successfully presented two wins.

Ancelotti brought Everton to tame Burnley at Goodison Park on his debut match. Everton won 1-0 through Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal from Djibril Sidibe's assist. After that, the team made by Ancelotti won 2-1 at Newcastle headquarters. Calvert-Lewin became a star with two goals, while Richarlison contributed one assist.

At the first meeting in the Premier League this season, Everton who is still trained by Marco Silva was bent City 1-3 at Goodison Park. This time, with Ancelotti, can the Toffees achieve better results at the opponent's headquarters?
