Manchester City. Their recent victory against Everton, with a resounding 2-0 scoreline, is a testament to their superiority on the pitch.
Firstly, let's talk about the statistics. Manchester City had an impressive 71% possession throughout the game, showcasing their ability to control and dictate play. They completed an astounding 89% of their passes, displaying their technical prowess and ability to maintain possession under pressure. In contrast, Everton struggled to keep up with only 29% possession and a pass completion rate of just 71%.
Oscar Bobb scored a stoppage-time winner at Newcastle United and Nathan Aké got a late goal at Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup. Julián Álvarez got two goals against Burnley in the Premier League. At Brentford on Monday, Phil Foden got three.
Invariably last season, City's match-winner was Erling Haaland, but while he's been away nursing a broken bone in his foot, manager Pep Guardiola has found other players willing to take on the responsibility of continuing their push for more trophies.
After a dip in form at the tail end of last year, City look back to their imperious best. Last weekend's 3-1 away win at Brentford was their ninth straight win across all competitions. 
With Everton having recently slipped back into the bottom three, the Toffees' need for all three points on Saturday is arguably more acute than City's, but the visitors have not recorded a win against their title-chasing opponents since January 2017. 
Liverpool, which was hosting Burnley later Saturday.
City’s sixth straight league win, and 10th in a row in all competitions, was hard to come by, with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford well protected by his defence and not having a shot to save in the first half.
The introduction of De Bruyne off the bench in the 57th minute added some urgency to City’s play, though the important first goal was hardly a classic.
Ruben Dias got his head on Julian Alvarez’s corner and the ball first hit Everton defender James Tarkowski and then Branthwaite, whose attempted clearance flew across to Haaland. The striker’s first-time shot flew past the unsighted Pickford.
Son Heung-min marked his return from Asian Cup duty with South Korea by setting up Brennan Johnson for the stoppage-time winner as Tottenham beat Brighton 2-1. In other results, Fulham beat Bournemouth 3-1, Ivan Toney scored again as Brentford won 2-0 at Wolverhampton and last-place Sheffield United won for just the third time this season, 3-1 at relegation rival Luton.
