City rounded out 2019 with a 2-0 home win over Sheffield United, although with Liverpool\u2019s victory over Wolves, they failed to close the gap and will enter 2020 14 points behind the Reds, who also have a game in hand.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola\u2019s side must now almost win their final 18 games in order to become a real threat to Liverpool, and that begins this weekend, when a new-look Everton comes to town.<\/p>\n
With Carlo Ancelotti now at the helm of the Toffees, Everton have won two from two, with victories over Burnley and Newcastle, although City represents a different test altogether.<\/p>\n
Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have looked impressive under Ancelotti, and the Toffees will go into this clash high on confidence.<\/p>\n
Everton have taken three draws from their last four games at the Etihad, although have failed to win in their past eight games away to City.<\/p>\n
The Toffees should be able to take it up to City, but Guardiola\u2019s side know what they have to do, and they should be too strong here.<\/p>\n
Prediction: Prediction: Both teams to score \u2013 Yes @ $1.68<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Mikel Arteta\u2019s reign as Arsenal manager hasn\u2019t started as strongly as Ancelotti\u2019s at Everton, with the Gunners only grabbing a point at Bournemouth in the Spaniard\u2019s first game in charge, before a 2-1 home loss to Chelsea on the weekend.<\/p>\n The Gunners will host another top six side at the Emirates this weekend, as the Red Devils come to town, on the back of a couple strong performances.<\/p>\n After losing to Watford two weeks ago, United defeated Newcastle 4-1 on Boxing Day and were too strong for Burnley 2-0 last time out, as they moved into fifth position.<\/p>\n They now sit four points behind Chelsea in fourth, in a race for a Champions League spot that\u2019s likely to go down to the wire.<\/p>\n Arsenal on the other hand are 12th<\/sup> on 24 points, and are closer to the relegation zone (six points) than they are United (seven points).<\/p>\n A win against United could kickstart Arteta\u2019s Arsenal career, although the Red Devils should have enough to grab a point in this one.<\/p>\n Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.62<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Could 2020 be the year for the Reds? In just 19 league games time, Liverpool could be lifting up their first Premier League trophy, ending a 30-year drought.<\/p>\n Who would bet against them at the moment, given they enter 2020 with a 13-point lead over Leicester City in second, as well as a game in hand.<\/p>\n They welcome Sheffield United to town on Friday morning, and the Blades will certainly be no pushovers, as they enter the new year in eighth place.<\/p>\n However, Liverpool have now gone unbeaten in their past 50 home games, winning 40 of them and just drawing 10.<\/p>\n Under Jurgen Klopp, the Reds have won all 11 home games against promoted sides by an aggregate scoreline of 33-4, meaning Chris Wilder\u2019s side could be in for a tough evening<\/p>\nArsenal v Manchester United<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
