Everton vs Man City prediction and odds: Frank Lampard faces tough task against league leaders

The title race is back on but Everton will be desperate to pull themselves out of the relegation battle sooner rather than later.

The Toffees are longshots at 10/1 with Grosvenor Sport while City are the favourites at 27/100 and a draw is 5/1.

Frank Lampard's side find themselves just two points above the relegation zone and with just one win in their last eight Premier League matches.

They have a slight safety net in that they have two or three games-in-hand over the likes of Leeds United and Brentford respectively but they will still need to grind out results if the likes of Newcastle United and Burnley maintain their impressive recent form.

For City, Pep Guardiola will be expecting his side to return to winning ways immediately after suffering a shock defeat to a mediocre Tottenham Hotspur side as their lead at the top is reduced to just three points.
