'Whatever happens' - Jamie Carragher makes major Everton prediction ahead of Man City clash

Jamie Carragher believes Everton may be the toughest test remaining for Manchester City as they look to win a historic treble.

City come into the game at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon with an advantage over Arsenal in the Premier League title race as they look to win their third title in a row.

Pep Guardiola's side drew 1-1 on Tuesday night in their Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid and the second leg takes place at the Etihad on Wednesday night.

The former Liverpool defender wrote in his Telegraph column: "Whatever happens against City, Everton will have further chances to save themselves against Wolverhampton and Bournemouth. My suspicion is that Guardiola’s side will have to scrap as hard as they have had to all season to secure three points.

"The nature of the win at Brighton - the performance as much as result - felt like a game-changer, not just in terms of Everton’s Premier League future short-term, but Dyche’s hopes of executing a longer-term vision.

"An Everton win guarantees Dyche the chance to lead the club towards a brighter future. If City win, there will no longer be a belief that they can win the Treble. It will become an expectation that they will do so."
