Manchester City vs Everton: Weather forecast, ticket information, travel guide
Everton face a daunting trip to Manchester City upon their return to Premier League action this coming weekend.
A number of Everton players have been on international duty since the Toffees were last in action on 5 October.
That was a brilliant 2-1 win over Crystal Palace for Everton, which leaves David Moyes’ men sitting eighth in the Premier League.
Man City are three places and two points better off than Everton ahead of Saturday afternoon’s contest at the Etihad Stadium.
Weather forecast for Manchester this weekend
Storm Amy battered the United Kingdom the last time Everton were in action, but thankfully it did not lead to the Palace game being postponed.
The weather looks a lot calmer for Saturday’s match as, according to the Met Office as of 14 October, there will be sunny intervals in Manchester around the time of kick-off.
No rain is forecast all day, and there will be highs of 13°C, making it a pleasant autumn afternoon at the Etihad Stadium. The UV and pollution levels are also set to be low.
Ticket information for Man City vs Everton
Everton will be the underdogs when they face Man City, but it is worth remembering they claimed a point from this fixture last season.

It was announced on 19 September that the away tickets had fully sold out.
