Man City vs Everton Bet Builder Tips: Alvarez to score in 11/4 shot

Manchester City host Everton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon (12:30) in the Premier League, looking to continue their winning streak that currently stretches over five matches.

They came from a goal down to beat Brentford 3-1 on Monday night thanks to a Phil Foden hat-trick. Now they return to home soil to face Everton, who they defeated 3-1 at Goodison Park back in December.

We have put together an 11/4 bet builder for you to consider ahead of Saturday's early kick-off.

Man City to win

This leg is very straightforward. The reigning champions are in the zone right now and they are coming at this title race in full force, especially with Pep Guardiola having a healthy squad to choose from with both Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland back from injury.

They are on a winning run of five matches and we know that last year they won 12 consecutively to retain their crown and break Arsenal hearts. City have the motivation once again this year because they can become the first team in history to win four Premier League titles in a row.

Everton did well to salvage a point against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend but they are not going to have much joy at the Etihad this weekend with City in this much form.

Julian Alvarez to score anytime 

Foden was the star of the show on Monday night, and rightly so, but Alvarez was very busy for the Cityzens and registered five shots in the game. Unfortunately for him, goalkeeper Mark Flekken turned in the best performance we've seen in a Brentford shirt.

The Argentine has scored eight goals in the Premier League so far this term, including a penalty against Everton back in December. Four of those goals have come in his last five appearances, including a brace against Burnley over a week ago.

We think he offers great value to get back on the scoresheet against the Toffees.

Over 2.5 Man City goals

Yes, this is a very one-sided bet builder, but can you really afford to bet against Man City right now?

In five of their last seven outings in all competitions, the Cityzens have scored at least three goals. They did so against Everton on Merseyside and we believe that they can match that feat again on home soil.

With Foden De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Alvarez and Haaland all on the pitch together, opponents are overwhelmed with the creativity that bursts from these City stars.

We'll tell you now that we can see this being a long old afternoon for Sean Dyche's side and with City's best attacking stars being available for this encounter, the hosts could end up scoring more than three.

Everton most booking points

Similarly to the last point, with City's superstars all likely to feature on Saturday, Everton's midfielders and defenders are likely going to be in for a torrid time in Manchester.

They will hardly have any possession of the ball and so the likes of Idrissa Gueye and James Garner will be given the hard job of pinching the ball back from Guardiola's men.

And the fact that we think the hosts will win this game comfortably, it will surely lead to frustration among the Toffees as the threat of relegation looms larger over their shoulders.
