										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manchester City and Everton played to a <strong>2-2 draw</strong> at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday. Despite controlling the match with over 75% possession, City could not secure a win. This result hands the title advantage to Arsenal.</p>
<p>City entered the match unbeaten in their last 17 league meetings against Everton. They had not lost to Everton since January 2017. Erling Haaland had scored 24 goals prior to this fixture and was expected to lead the offense.</p>
<p>During the match, City dominated early with <strong>87%</strong> possession in the first 15 minutes. Their pass completion rate stood at <strong>90.8%</strong> in the opposition half. However, Everton capitalized on their chances and scored three goals, including a corner converted by Jake O&#8217;Brien.</p>
<p>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall made his <strong>100th appearance</strong> in the EPL during this match. Bernardo Silva also reached a milestone with his <strong>300th appearance</strong>. The match showcased individual achievements amid team struggles.</p>
<p>Haaland did find the net in the 97th minute, marking his third goal in three games. Yet, it was not enough to secure victory for Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side. His team will reflect on this draw as a potential turning point in their title chase.</p>
<p>The draw leaves Arsenal in a favorable position for the Premier League title race. Everton&#8217;s performance also brings them closer to qualifying for European football next season.</p>
<p><strong>Key statistics:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>City had <strong>75%</strong> collective possession across 90 minutes.</li>
<li>Haaland scored his goal late in the match.</li>
<li>This draw ended City&#8217;s long unbeaten streak against Everton.</li>
</ul>
<p>The outcome raises questions about City&#8217;s ability to maintain their title challenge as they move forward in the season.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest clash saw Everton lead <strong>3-1</strong> before conceding twice to draw <strong>3-3</strong> in a thrilling encounter on May 4, 2026, at Hill Dickinson Stadium. This match added another chapter to the storied rivalry between Everton F.C. and Manchester City.</p>
<p>Everton initially took control of the game, scoring three goals to establish a strong lead. However, Manchester City responded with resilience, equalizing late in the game. The match showcased the attacking prowess of both teams, highlighting their positions in the Premier League.</p>
<p>Historically, there have been <strong>201</strong> meetings between these two clubs. Manchester City has won <strong>83</strong> of those encounters while Everton has claimed victory <strong>68</strong> times. The remaining matches ended in draws, with <strong>50</strong> recorded ties.</p>
<p>The recent draw means Everton continues to struggle at the Etihad Stadium, having not won there in their last <strong>15</strong> visits. Erling Haaland has been particularly effective against Everton, scoring <strong>six</strong> goals in just five matches.</p>
<p>This rivalry dates back to their first meeting in 1899. The last time Everton defeated Manchester City was during Pep Guardiola&#8217;s debut season when they won <strong>4-0</strong>.</p>
<p>Currently, Manchester City is six points behind Arsenal in the Premier League standings but has two games in hand. This places them in a challenging position as they aim for the title.</p>
<p>The upcoming fixtures will be crucial for both teams as they navigate the demanding schedule of the Premier League and FA Cup competitions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everton&#8217;s struggle against Manchester City continues as they face a daunting record of <strong>eight consecutive home defeats</strong>. The teams will meet on May 4, 2026, at Hill Dickinson Stadium.</p>
<p>Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League games against Everton. This includes their current streak of 11 league matches without a loss. In contrast, Everton have lost each of their last two league games.</p>
<p>Historically, Everton have struggled against Manchester City. David Moyes has yet to record a win against Pep Guardiola in the Premier League. The last time these teams met at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton fell short once again.</p>
<p><strong>Key statistics:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Everton have lost their last eight home league games against Manchester City.</li>
<li>Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League games against Everton.</li>
<li>Everton have lost each of their last two league games.</li>
<li>Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 11 league games.</li>
<li>Only Arsenal have recorded more through balls in the Premier League this season than Manchester City.</li>
<li>Four of Erling Haaland’s 24 Premier League goals this season have been assisted by Jérémy Doku.</li>
</ul>
<p>Moreover, Everton&#8217;s defense has struggled recently. They conceded a 90th-minute winner in each of their last two Premier League matches. This defensive lapse adds pressure as they prepare for the encounter with a formidable opponent like Manchester City.</p>
<p>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has shown potential, with a goal differential of <strong>4.2</strong> between his goals and expected goals this season. His performance will be crucial if Everton hopes to change their fortunes against City.</p>
<p>The match is pivotal for both teams as they navigate the final stretch of the season. Observers expect another challenging game for Everton as they aim to end their losing streak at home against one of the league&#8217;s strongest sides.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everton&#8217;s struggle against Manchester City continues as they face a daunting record of <strong>17 consecutive Premier League games</strong> without a win against them. The match is scheduled for May 4, 2026, at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton has lost their last eight home league games against City, marking their longest run of defeats against any opponent in history.</p>
<p>Manchester City has been dominant in their previous encounters. They are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League games against Everton, with a record of 14 wins and 3 draws since a 4-0 loss in January 2017. This streak highlights the challenge Everton faces as they prepare for the upcoming match.</p>
<p>Currently, Everton is struggling with form. They have lost each of their last two league games and have not lost three in a row since January last season. In contrast, Manchester City is enjoying an impressive run. They remain unbeaten in their last 11 league matches, collecting 24 points and conceding just eight goals during this stretch.</p>
<p>This match will also be significant for David Moyes. It will be his 16th meeting with Pep Guardiola in the Premier League. To date, Moyes has yet to secure a win against Guardiola during his tenures at Sunderland, West Ham United, and Everton, recording two draws and thirteen losses.</p>
<p><strong>Key statistics:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Everton&#8217;s eight consecutive home league defeats to Manchester City</li>
<li>Manchester City&#8217;s unbeaten streak of seventeen league games against Everton</li>
<li>Two consecutive league losses for Everton</li>
<li>Eleven unbeaten league games for Manchester City</li>
<li>Twenty-four points collected by Manchester City during their unbeaten run</li>
<li>Only Arsenal has recorded more through balls than Manchester City&#8217;s total this season</li>
<li>Four of Erling Haaland’s twenty-four Premier League goals this season have been assisted by Jérémy Doku</li>
</ul>
<p>Everton has also conceded late goals recently, allowing a winner in the 90th minute in both of their last two matches against Liverpool and West Ham United. This trend could weigh heavily on their confidence as they face City.</p>
<p>The upcoming clash represents more than just three points; it is a chance for Everton to break free from a disheartening trend. Their performance will be crucial as they aim to reverse their fortunes against one of the league&#8217;s top teams.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arsenal has not won at the Etihad Stadium since January 2015. Their last two visits ended in draws. Currently, Arsenal holds a six-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table. They remain unbeaten in their last five league meetings against Manchester City.</p>
<p>Manchester City, on the other hand, has lost just one of their last 19 Premier League games. They are also unbeaten in their last nine league matches. This sets up a crucial clash as both teams aim for victory.</p>
<p>Mikel Arteta expressed confidence ahead of the match. &#8220;We have earned the right to be in this position, to be challenging and with the possibility to win,&#8221; he said. He acknowledged that facing Pep Guardiola&#8217;s team is a significant challenge.</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola recognized the stakes as well. He stated, &#8220;If we lose, it is over. But the other two results, knowing that Arsenal didn&#8217;t win against Bournemouth, we still have games to play.&#8221; His comments reflect the pressure on Manchester City to secure a win.</p>
<p>Nico O&#8217;Reilly has been a standout player for City lately, scoring six goals since February—making him their top scorer in that timeframe. Meanwhile, Rayan Cherki&#8217;s impressive assist rate of one every 138 minutes adds another layer of threat for Arsenal.</p>
<p>Erling Haaland has also performed well against Arsenal historically. He has scored five goals and provided two assists in seven Premier League appearances against them. Yet, Arsenal&#8217;s strong away record—losing only two of their last 30 away matches—could pose problems for City.</p>
<p>Referee Anthony Taylor will officiate this high-stakes match. Observers expect a tightly contested game given both teams&#8217; current form and historical context.</p>
<p>As both teams prepare for this pivotal encounter, fans eagerly await what promises to be an exciting showdown at the Etihad Stadium.</p>

<p>Tottenham Hotspur is currently struggling in 18th place with only 30 points, facing a 46.06% chance of relegation. Meanwhile, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers have a 100% chance of relegation, raising concerns about their future in the Premier League.</p>
<p>Erling Haaland is leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 22 goals, solidifying his status as a key player this season. According to Opta, &#8220;The Gunners are expected to tally around 82 points come the end of May,&#8221; reinforcing their position as favorites to win the league.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Liverpool faced a heavy defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals, with Erling Haaland scoring a hat trick.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What observers say</h2>
<p>&#8220;It was another dismal afternoon in an underwhelming season for Liverpool,&#8221; remarked a commentator following the FA Cup quarter-final match where Manchester City triumphed over Liverpool with a decisive 4-0 scoreline. This match further highlighted the struggles Liverpool has faced this season, particularly after their recent 2-0 loss to Brighton &#038; Hove Albion before the international break.</p>
<p>Erling Haaland was the standout performer, netting a hat trick that underscored his exceptional form. His goals not only contributed to the scoreline but also solidified Manchester City&#8217;s dominance over Liverpool this season, having already beaten them twice in league encounters. The match took place at the Etihad Stadium, a venue where City has never lost a home FA Cup tie under manager Pep Guardiola.</p>
<p>Mohamed Salah, who has been a key player for Liverpool, missed a penalty during the match, adding to the team&#8217;s woes. This appearance was particularly poignant as it marked Salah&#8217;s first since announcing his intention to leave the club at the end of the season. His goal involvements against Manchester City have been significant over the years, totaling 21, but on this occasion, he could not find the back of the net.</p>
<p>Liverpool&#8217;s manager, Arne Slot, has faced mounting pressure as the team has struggled to find consistency. The club&#8217;s campaign has been described as underwhelming, with four losses in their last five home meetings with Manchester City in the FA Cup. The defeat at the Etihad Stadium was a stark reminder of the challenges Liverpool has faced this season.</p>
<p>In contrast, Manchester City is riding high after their Carabao Cup triumph and aims to complete the domestic cup double for the first time since the 2018/19 season. The victory against Liverpool not only boosts their confidence but also reinforces their status as favorites in upcoming matches.</p>
<p>Josko Gvardiol&#8217;s injury was a concern for Manchester City, but the team managed to secure a convincing win without him. Liverpool&#8217;s defensive struggles were evident, particularly with Alisson Becker sidelined for the match, which further complicated their efforts to contain City&#8217;s attacking prowess.</p>
<p>As the season progresses, the implications of this match could be significant for both teams. Liverpool will need to regroup and address their shortcomings, while Manchester City will look to build on this momentum as they pursue further success in the FA Cup and the league.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential changes to Liverpool&#8217;s squad or management in light of this defeat, but the pressure is certainly mounting as they navigate a challenging season.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What the data shows</h2>
<p>The upcoming FA Cup quarter-final between Manchester City and Liverpool raises a central question: which team will advance to the semi-finals? As both clubs have shown impressive form in recent competitions, the answer remains uncertain but leans towards Manchester City, given their recent home performances.</p>
<p>Manchester City enters this match with a remarkable record, having won each of their last 17 home matches in the FA Cup. They have also triumphed in 31 consecutive FA Cup matches outside of semi-finals and finals since their last defeat to Wigan in the 2017-18 fifth round. In contrast, Liverpool has a strong history in the FA Cup, having progressed from 17 of their last 19 quarter-final ties, indicating their resilience in knockout formats.</p>
<p>This match will mark the seventh FA Cup tie between the two clubs, with Liverpool historically holding the upper hand, having won 110 of their 220 encounters. However, recent form suggests that Manchester City may have the edge, especially with Erling Haaland scoring in each of his last three home games against Liverpool in all competitions.</p>
<p>As the teams prepare for this crucial encounter, Liverpool finds itself in fifth place in the Premier League, a position that reflects their struggles this season. Notably, Mohamed Salah has announced his intention to leave the club at the end of the campaign, adding an emotional layer to the match for Liverpool fans. Meanwhile, Manchester City will be without their manager Pep Guardiola, who is serving a suspension, which could impact their tactical approach.</p>
<p>Historically, Liverpool has not been eliminated from back-to-back FA Cup quarter-final appearances since the 1967-68 and 1969-70 seasons. This adds pressure on them to perform, as they aim to avoid a repeat of that disappointing history. Liverpool&#8217;s last FA Cup trophy was won in the 2021-22 season, and they will be eager to reclaim glory in this prestigious tournament.</p>
<p>Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool, expressed optimism about the upcoming match, stating, &#8220;It’s a very nice game to look forward to.&#8221; He also emphasized Salah&#8217;s legacy at the club, hoping that the player can make a significant impact in the remaining weeks of the season. Slot&#8217;s comments reflect a desire to maintain morale despite the challenges facing the team.</p>
<p>As the match approaches, both teams will be keen to assert their dominance. Liverpool&#8217;s recent struggles away from home in the FA Cup, where they have not won two away games against Premier League opponents in a single campaign since 2005-06, could be a deciding factor. With the stakes high and both teams eager to advance, this FA Cup quarter-final promises to be a thrilling encounter.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding the final line-ups and tactical adjustments both teams may employ. However, the anticipation surrounding this fixture is palpable, as fans await to see who will emerge victorious in this classic rivalry.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The wider picture</h2>
<p>Phil Foden&#8217;s performance has been inconsistent, affecting his chances for the World Cup. Named in the England squad for friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, Foden&#8217;s recent struggles at Manchester City have raised concerns about his readiness for international competition. His last major tournament was Euro 2024, where he showcased his potential but has since faced challenges that have limited his contributions on the pitch.</p>
<p>In March 2026, Foden spent only one minute on the pitch during three significant matches for Manchester City, highlighting his lack of playing time. This is a stark contrast to his form in late 2024, where he scored eight goals in nine games. However, the 2024-25 campaign was marred by an ankle injury and mental health issues, which have significantly impacted his performance and availability.</p>
<p>Foden has started just two Premier League games since January 2026, and his competition for the No.10 position includes talented players such as Jude Bellingham, Morgan Rogers, Eberechi Eze, and Cole Palmer. The pressure is mounting as he prepares for the friendly against Japan scheduled for 28 March 2026. &#8220;Football sometimes is not straightforward,&#8221; Foden remarked, reflecting on his turbulent season.</p>
<p>Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed unwavering confidence in Foden&#8217;s abilities, stating, &#8220;I have zero, zero, zero doubts about Phil.&#8221; However, Foden&#8217;s role in the upcoming friendly remains unclear, as he has often been asked to play in a deeper role this season, which has affected his ability to impact games with goals and assists.</p>
<p>In a separate context, Prince Harry&#8217;s absence from the UK since September 2022 has drawn attention, particularly as he hopes for a reunion with King Charles and his children. The last time King Charles saw his grandchildren was in June 2022, and the potential reunion would break a no-contact streak between the King and his two grandchildren. Observers note that the status of Prince Harry&#8217;s security arrangements in the UK is uncertain.</p>
<p>As the friendly against Japan approaches, Foden&#8217;s performance will be closely monitored. His ability to secure a place in the World Cup squad may hinge on his showing in this match. Details remain unconfirmed regarding his exact role in the game, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future.</p>
<p>The upcoming friendly is not just a chance for Foden to showcase his skills but also a critical moment for the England national team as they prepare for the World Cup. With the competition for places heating up, Foden&#8217;s next steps will be pivotal in determining his international career trajectory.</p>
