Everton FC (1-0-1, 4 points) will be facing the hottest team in the 2015-2016 Premier League so far, Manchester City FC (2-0-0, 6 points) at their home stadium of Goodison Park on Sunday.
Manuel Pellegrini's boys have been blowing out their opponents to date. They opened the season with a 3-0 rout of West Brom on the road then carved out a stunning 3-0 sculpting of defending champs Chelsea FC at the Etihad last Sunday, via The Guardian.
The recent acquisition of midfielder Raheem Sterling proved to be a big lift for Pellegrini, and the recent outstanding plays of striker Sergio Agüero and midfielder Yaya Touré have made the Citizens impossible to stop.
The Toffees had begun their season with a 2-2 draw against newly-promoted club Watford FC in their opener, then executed a 3-0 spanking of Southampton FC in their second game to remain unbeaten, as per BBC Sport.
Their time to lose may have come with this encounter against the Citizens this weekend.
Prediction: Manchester City with another 3-0 extravaganza. Roberto Martínez has no answer for the Big Three of Touré, Agüero, and Sterling, who seem free to do anything they want on the field these days.
