The going has been tough for Everton's Marco Silva and the visit of Manchester City, who have scored 11 goals in the last two games, is not ideal.
The Portuguese boss leads the way in the Premier League sack race, with Everton's stats not making good reading in our latest analysis piece.
The Toffees' creativity has been lacking, averaging less than a goal per game with a 6% conversion rate, far lower than it should be for the cost and talent in their squad. But they will surely up their performance against the champions at Goodison and it would be no surprise to see Man City win with under 3.5 total goals (11/8) or something along the lines of a narrow win.
The preference, though, is to avoid the result with the market stacked in favour of Pep Guardiola's men. Instead, the first-half shots on target market provides value.
Raheem Sterling has been in fine form in the early weeks of the campaign, scoring nine goals in 10 appearances for club and country.

Tottenham have won just twice in all competitions this season and the penalty shootout defeat to Colchester in midweek saw things go from bad to worse.
Mauricio Pochettino is not having a great time this campaign and plenty have questioned whether he will last the season in north London.
It was always going to be tough after the highs of last year in the Champions League and a glimmer of hope for the Argentinian and Spurs this weekend is the fact their two victories have both come at home.
Of all clubs to make things worse for Spurs, it could be Pochettino's old club Southampton, who beat them at St Mary's just over six months ago.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side avoided an upset by beating rivals Portsmouth 4-0 on Tuesday, to give them extra confidence and extend their unbeaten run on the road to four matches in all competitions.
But the hosts' injury list is looking better and they should be able to field a strong side on Saturday, who will surely be playing for their manager.
Spurs have been poor defensively this term, with over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven Premier League games and it might take a win-at-all-costs approach here.
With this in mind, and Southampton's ability on the break, the visitors could get plenty of chances and they are worth looking at with an 11/10 price to register four or more shots on target.
But Sofiane Boufal is due a goal after his recent displays. We tipped him last week against Bournemouth and he racked up an astonishing five shots and is now a tempting 8/1 shot to get on the score sheet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Morocco international is hungry, performing well, at least finding openings and it should come sooner rather than later. This could be the perfect game for him.
Prediction: Spurs 3-1 Southampton ()

Sheffield United have started well on their return to the Premier League, collecting more points (eight) than the other newcomers in Norwich and Aston Villa and they will be fired up for this one.
Chris Wilder's side have showed a fearless and battling approach so far and providing plenty of entertainment in the process, including coming from two down to draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
They welcome league leaders Liverpool, who have won six of six and look like they will take some stopping at the minute with efficient and effective performances.
In total, Jurgen Klopp's men are on a 15-match winning run, unbeaten in the Premier League for a total of 23 games. But it has to end sooner or later.
With the home crowd behind them, there is plenty of value in backing the hosts in a +1 handicap at 2/1 but both teams' corner stats make interesting reading when looking towards the betting markets.
The Blades sit sixth in the standings for total corners taken this season with 38 and they average an impressive nine per home game. Liverpool, meanwhile, are second in the overall corner standings with 44 and they average seven a game on the road.
With this in mind, looking at overall corners taken is an appealing option with action expected at both ends.
Over 12.5 corners stands out with a best price of 27/10, with no reliance on the result in the event of a shock result from the battling Blades in the early kick-off.
Prediction: Sheff United 1-1 Liverpool ()
