Before Everton’s visit to the Etihad, Manchester City’s festive mood was already low, and their struggles continued against Sean Dyche's side, who had successfully stifled top teams like Arsenal and Chelsea. A Bernardo Silva goal early on put City in front, but after Iliman Ndiaye equalized and Haaland missed a penalty, City were held to a draw, marking their eighth game without a win in nine Premier League matches.

Sitting 14 points behind Liverpool, with one game in hand, City are rapidly falling out of the title race and face an uphill battle to secure Champions League qualification, currently sitting seventh in the table. Key issues such as losing Rodri, an aging squad, and ongoing injury problems have contributed to their dramatic decline. The team has just one win in their last 13 games across all competitions and has conceded two goals in each of their last five away league matches, earning just one point from a possible 15.


On Thursday, there was a brief moment of optimism when Leicester took an unexpected lead against Liverpool at Anfield. However, after a stunning goal by Cody Gakpo and second-half strikes from Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah, Leicester were defeated 3-1. This third consecutive loss pushed Leicester into the relegation zone, now just one point behind Wolves. With 40 goals conceded in 18 matches, Leicester have the joint-worst defense in the league, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 games.
