Everton will be looking to continue their 100% start under Carlo Ancelotti when they travel to champions Manchester City on New Year's Day.

The Toffees have beaten Burnley and Newcastle United in their two matches since Ancelotti took control, while City will enter the clash off the back of a 2-0 win over Sheffield United.

City were outstanding last term as they held off the threat of Liverpool to win the Premier League title in spectacular fashion. However, unless something quite staggering happens over the next few months, Pep Guardiola’s team will not be ending the 2019-20 campaign with the English title.

The Citizens have lost five of their 20 league matches this season, recording just 13 wins to sit third in the table with 41 points. They are only a point off second-placed Leicester but sit 14 points off the leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand following their exertions at the Club World Cup.

Liverpool’s form this term has been just staggering, winning 18 of their 19 league matches to top the table. Even if City had been at their best in recent months then it is difficult to imagine that they would have been even close to Jurgen Klopp’s team, who appear destined to win the Premier League.

City suffered a 3-2 loss away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 27, with the latter coming from behind to triumph in front of their home supporters. Guardiola's team had beaten Leicester on December 21 to keep their slight title hopes alive, but the defeat at Molineux would have hurt the team badly. (Sports Mole)
