Boxing Day struggles: Can Man City get a win over Everton as its Christmas present?

On December 26, Manchester City will host Everton in the 18th round of the Premier League.

Walker said, “This season, we have scheduled training on Christmas Day because we have a match against Everton on Boxing Day. But in the past few seasons, we've had a vacation at Christmas, which is very good ......”

It's worth noting that City's recent game results have not been good, with only one win in the last 12 games in all competitions and three consecutive defeats in the last three. City since November the Premier League average of only 0.5 points, for the same period of the lowest average of Premier League teams .

In the last 2 months, City have scored only 10 goals in 9 EPL matches. Incredibly, only Leicester City, Everton and Southampton have scored fewer goals than City in that time. Harland, the team's center forward, scored only 2 goals.

City's offense now relies heavily on feeding the ball to Harland, even if he rarely touches the ball, which at times may not seem to be the case. There was a time when City's wingers could contribute a lot of goals themselves. Now they can't do that anymore. Sure, they've brought City 2 Premier League titles and the coveted Champions League title in the last 2 seasons. But with that, City's offense has been clear-cut, and when there's a chance, it's Harland. Because left and right wingers have no scoring ability.

For Guardiola, how to improve the team's weak offense is the top priority. Hopefully, Christmas will bring new hope to this team.
