Everton looks to continue their good run against a favored Manchester City side at Eastlands
Everton may be a team in financial crisis, but they look like a decent side so far in this Premier League season. The Toffees own wins over Queens Park Rangers and Wigan, as well as a draw with Aston Villa, but they're taking a bit of a step up in competition on Saturday when they face Manchester City at the Ethiad Stadium.
City made a couple of massive acquisitions in Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri in the final weeks of the summer transfer window and look very much like a team that has made the jump from top four contender to title contender. Expect Nasri and David Silva to start wide, cutting in to provide a creative outlet while Aguero and Edin Dzeko form arguably the world's most dangerous strike tandem up top.
Everton are dealing with some injury problems, but most of their star players - including red-hot Tim Cahill - are fit. The Socceroos star has scored three goals in three games and will be the key man for the Toffees going forward on the afternoon.
