Slightly early no?

Anyway, hope Everton get something from this. Don't want City top at Christmas whether we have 2 games in hand or not.

Everton FTW

Tevez' antics won't have created a good atmosphere in the changing room and Everton will nick it.

Man City 1- 2 Everton​

Please let it be snow free in *Manchester today, really looking forward to this, going to be a slobberknocker of a win for man city.
Prediction: Alot of snoods on the pitch. 3-0 home win
Cant back Everton to score unless they find Cahills head

Not going to make much difference whether it's snowing in Liverpool or not considering the games at the City of Manchester Stadium...

My prediction - City 2-0 Everton.

City were brilliant without Tevez against Juventus and they easily beat West Ham without him. I expect the same again today with Jo/Ballotelli and Adebayor/Santa Cruz up front, Everton are a great team but without key players and a dip in form lately, with City on a high in form, I expect us to win, but win ugly.

I agree, its a real shame though because I really like Everton. Arteta isn't playing (correct me if I'm wrong) through suspension. I'm going to say 4 of the great snoods for the City boys today also
