History of the Manchester City v Everton fixture

Man. City prepare to entertain Everton at City of Manchester Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 45 and lost only 17 of the 80 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City of Manchester Stadium was just last season, in December 2008, with Everton inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Sky Blues in a Premier League match.
