With our last simulation against Spurs getting it spot on and predicting a 1-1 draw, we now turn our attentions to Manchester City.
The Blues play the Citizens tonight for the second time in 7 days, and after the Merseysiders triumphed at Goodison Park in the Capital One Cup, City will be looking to get revenge in their own back yard.
We have been running a Football Manager 2016 simulation alongside the Premier League season to see how the game does at predicting real world results. Everton are currently in good form, winning four of their last six games including an FA Cup tie against Barnsley.
The Merseysiders needed a win against City to see them up to 7th with a game against Chelsea approaching, and thats exactly what they did.
The Blues went on to win 2-1 – similarly to that of the real life Capital One Cup game – with goals from Ross Barkley and James McCarthy securing all three points. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring in the 7th minute but Everton were able to fight back and secure a valuable win.
Everton now lie 9 points off sixth-placed Tottenham in what looks like an impossible task of finishing anywhere above 7th this season.
With the popular simulation game predicting its last game right, will it be able to make it two in two come this evening?
