Two teams meet in urgent need of maximum points but for entirely different reasons. With their 15-game unbeaten run in the Premier League halted last weekend and Liverpool reducing a 12-point gap to three, while establishing a superior goal difference in the process, Manchester City suddenly find themselves under pressure at the top. Another winning streak may be required to keep the challengers at bay. Frank Lampard has enjoyed two stirring home wins out of two so far but two anaemic away defeats, plus the improved form of Newcastle and Burnley, have kept Everton firmly in the relegation mire.
