Everton host Manchester City on Monday with Arsenal fans everywhere hoping the Toffees do them a massive favor in the title race.
WATCH — Everton v Manchester City
Playing away at David Moyes’ Everton is one of the toughest remaining games for Pep Guardiola’s City to navigate, as Arsenal are ready to take advantage of any slight slip up from City. The Toffees lost 2-1 at West Ham last weekend as they chase European qualification but have suffered plenty of late heartbreak in recent games. Still, they’re having a fine season and are more than capable of putting a huge in City’s title hopes.
But this is Manchester City in May. Just like they always do, they’ve kicked on late in the season and know they if they win their remaining five games they will have a very good chance of winning the title as it will go down to goal difference if Arsenal also win out. City are chasing the domestic treble as they already beat Arsenal in the League Cup final, have the slight advantage in the title race and are the heavy favorites to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 16. But Guardiola’s side have plenty of midweek games between now and May 24 to navigate as they aim to get their rotation right.
