Everton face a trip to Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 45 and win only 15 of the 78 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2007, the Sky Blues carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Manchester City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Sky Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Everton's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Toffees, and 3 goals against.
Man. City's 44 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position. Everton find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 47 points they have accumulated from 26 games.
