7. (130 pts)Pick an outcome that will happen when Everton play Man City and Sunderland take on Norwich this week?
The live games to be shown on TV this week will first go to Goodison Park where Everton take on Man City.
Everton vs. Man City
Everton have won twice in their last 7 as their goal scoring issues continue to hound them. But with a relatively solid back line they are capable of causing most teams problems, but have so far not threatened to produce the any of the giant killings that their reputation in past seasons has been built on.
They've avoided defeat in 6 of their 11 home games this season, but then only won 3 so Goodison may not be an easy place to go to but it's certainly not formidable.
Man City have struggled a little on the road recently, just 1 win their last 5 and an apparent lack of goals may be cause for concern especially when playing a well organised team like Everton and with a few key players still missing or out of form and the mid-week league cup clash against Liverpool this week likely to cause a little more fatigue a draw is not out of the question by any means but a narrow win for City is the most likely outcome and what doesn't look like it will be a terribly exciting or high scoring game on paper.
Sunderland vs. Norwich
Since O'Neill's arrival Sunderland have won 5 of the 8 games they've played, which is an astonishing bounce back considering the fact that they'd won just twice in the 14 games prior to that. This makes them one of the form sides in the league and in fact they find themselves behind only Man United and City on the form tables.
A home win looks a certainty against a Norwich team who have been thrilling at home but average on the road, though there are a lot of teams in the league who would be proud of Norwich's record of just 4 defeats in 11 games when playing away from home and consecutive away victories against QPR and West brom recently have marked a drastic improvement in their over all away record and made them to worth reconsidering as certain away losers.
Norwich ran out 2-1 winners when the sides last met so whilst a home win should be almost certain here, Norwich's consecutive away victories in the last 2 games, and their defeat of Sunderland earlier in the season may make you want to look again.
