Nimbus Pronos, the mysterious cat, has predicted the result of Manchester City's crucial Premier League match against Everton as the title race intensifies. Pep Guardiola's side must win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool to close the gap on Arsenal at the top of the table. Any result other than a win could spell the end of Manchester City's Premier League title ambitions this season.
Cat Predicts Manchester City Victory
As seen in a video shared on Instagram, Nimbus Pronos, the feline oracle famous for predicting football matches, has shared his prediction for Everton vs Manchester City. The cat backed Manchester City to claim victory and reduce the gap at the top of the Premier League table to three points with a game in hand.

Guardiola Speaks Ahead of Facing Everton
City boss Pep Guardiola provided injury updates on some of his players who have been on the treatment table for a while ahead of the trip to Merseyside. 'He (Rodri) is getting better. Still he hasn't trained so we will see in the next few days. Always I am confident,' Pep said as quoted by Mancity.com. 'Ruben is not yet with the team. Him, Josko and Rodri are getting better.'
The Spanish manager looks forward to a difficult tie against Everton and admitted that they have become even more difficult at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. 'Always Everton have been tough. Old Everton was so cool and so British and I loved to go there but in the new stadium they are defending really well and always it has been tough,' he added. 'We can't have any result but win, win, win,' he concluded.
Title Race Context
Manchester City have not been in Premier League action for two match days because of their FA Cup semi-final involvement, allowing Arsenal to open a six-point gap. The Citizens must now win their outstanding two matches to close the gap and return to the top of the Premier League table. As noted by the Premier League, any result short of a win in both matches, starting with Everton, would hand Arsenal the title.
Opta's supercomputer recently predicted the Premier League winner after Arsenal opened a six-point gap over Manchester City. The Gunners now have a 79% chance of lifting the title after City had a matchday of inactivity due to their FA Cup semi-final involvement.
