Ea_pl_logo_medium
City's nemesis of recent times, Everton, roll into town this weekend looking to extend their recent good record and dent City's unbeaten home start (two wins, six scored and none conceded so far in the Premier League.

Here are some of the numbers posted by both sides to date:

  • During last Sunday's 2-2 draw against Fulham, the Manchester City players covered a total of 116,191m (72.20miles) throughout the game
  • The Everton players covered a total of 121,168m (75.29miles) during their 3-1 win against Wigan Athletic last weekend
  • Marouane Fellaini was the Toffees player who covered the most ground  (12,452m / 7.74miles) against Wigan at Goodison Park, closely followed by Leon Osman (12,233m / 7.60miles) and Leighton Baines (11,922m / 7.41miles)
  • Gareth Barry was the Manchester City player who covered the most ground (12,143m / 7.55miles) during the game at Craven Cottage, followed by Gael Clichy (11,677m / 7.26miles) and Edin Dzeko (11,009m / 6.84miles)
  • The Manchester City players measured with the fastest top speed at Fulham last week were Joleon Lescott and Sergio Auero who were both clocked at 25.69MPH (11.485 metres per second)
  • The Manchester clubs occupy nine of the top 10 places on the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. Manchester City contribute four of the players in the top 10 with Edin Dzeko in 3rd, Sergio Aguero in 4th, David Silva in 5th and Vincent Kompany in 8th place
  • Aguero scored his seventh and eighth Barclays Premier League goals in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Fulham. Aguero has now scored, on average, one goal every 42minutes 8seconds of Premier League action this season
  • Goalkeeper Tim Howard is currently the highest ranked Everton player on the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, sitting in 112th place overall
  • Howard has now played 190 Barclays Premier League games for Everton, being on the winning side in 82 of them and conceding 194 goals in total

And furthermore, here is a comparison between midfield threats David Silva and Tim Cahill - the latter of course who has in particular been a thorn in City's side of late:
