Carlo Ancelotti has had an instant impact in the dugout at Everton.
But can the Italian keep it going at The Etihad against Pep?
We asked our Manchester City expert Simon Bajkowski for his verdict ahead of the New Year's Day fixture.
Win, lose or draw?
Win. It's 1/4 with thepools.com but a win is a win is a win.
Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?
Sergio Aguero did his usual trick when he comes back from injury of scoring despite barely getting a kick but Jesus may be called upon again to ease the Argentine back to full fitness. Aguero is a solid 12/5 bet to score first with thepools.com but Jesus is an even better 14/5 . Take that price.
Jesus has scored in his last four games against Everton.
Who's on the naughty step? (first card)
Fernandinho
Who's on pens?
Aguero if he plays. If he doesn't, there's only Ederson that can be ruled out. Raheem Sterling, who missed the last one - twice, then scored, is 15/4 first scorer.
Will City keep a clean sheet?
You'd say not these days. They didn't concede a shot on target against Sheffield United and yet the visitors were unlucky not to score three times. Work that one out!
City to win and Both Teams To Score is a very appealing 11/8 .
