Undisputed leader of the Eredivisie, the Manchester City could take another giant step towards the title on Wednesday, if he wins Everton in the pending match of the 16th Premier date, earning an income of ten points at the top of the standings.

He will take on Everton (7th) who wants to keep his dream of entry to the Champions League alive.
With 5 points less than Chelsea (4th), but also with two games less, adding up against City would be a positive result for the students of Carlo Ancelotti, and a morale boost ahead of the derby on the 25th date against Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday.

For this meeting Carlo Ancelotti can count on one James Rodriguez, who overcame his blow to the left ankle. James already knows what it’s like to meet City when he played in the Porto jersey.
The Colombian footballer has played his last four games in the team led by Carlo Ancelotti, but has not been able to celebrate a single victory with him on the field. He has two losses and two draws in a row. In addition, James has played 16 games and Everton he has achieved 22 points (46 percent effective), while without James Everton won five of the six games.
City, for the deed
While there are 14 more dates to play when this game ends, it seems difficult to imagine a scenario where the title could slip out of the hands of the ‘Citizens’.
A real steamroller; 41 points scored out of 45 possible in the past 15 days, 36 goals scored and 3 against.
