"After back-to-back league defeats to Tottenham and Brighton at the end of August, Manchester City have regained their stride, putting together a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions (W5, D2). Pep Guardiola's team entered the October international break in high spirits following a narrow 1-0 victory over Brentford two weeks ago. Erling Haaland continues to dominate the headlines, having already netted 21 goals in 12 appearances for club and country this season. The Norwegian striker, who won September's Premier League Player of the Month award, has scored nine goals in just seven league matches, making him the early frontrunner for another Golden Boot."
"Guardiola, who recently reached 250 Premier League wins faster than any manager in history, believes his side are "getting better and better." Their numbers in 2025 certainly support that claim - City are averaging more points per game (2.04) than any other Premier League team this calendar year, have scored the most goals (55), and have matched Liverpool for the most wins (16)."
Manchester City can move to the top of the Premier League with a victory over Everton at the Etihad. City last beat Everton 2-0 in April via late goals from Nico O'Reilly and Mateo Kovacic. After two defeats in late August, City are unbeaten in seven matches across all competitions and entered the international break following a 1-0 win at Brentford. Erling Haaland has 21 goals in 12 appearances this season and nine in seven league games. City average 2.04 points per game in 2025, have scored 55 goals, and matched Liverpool with 16 wins. Several players are returning from injury, while Rodri remains a doubt.
