This is quite a fast turnaround for Manchester City after their win over Hoffenheim in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but this is still a game I think they will win.
Everton, who had an eventful draw with Watford last time out, are a much-improved side and they like it when teams attack them, which is what will happen here.
They will give City a game, but I am still expecting Pep Guardiola's side to have too much for them.
City have a few injuries to some of their big hitters to contend with and, of them, only Sergio Aguero is in with a chance of returning this weekend.
But Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling are in excellent form and I think last weekend's defeat by Chelsea will only serve to fire City up more this time.
Although it is clearly not nice at the time, losing your first game can take a bit of pressure off. Until then people are always asking, "Can you go the whole season unbeaten?" and I think the manager and players hate that.
As good as a side as they are, they have been beaten - just as Liverpool will be beaten at some point - and they no longer have that millstone around their neck.
