David Moyes on Recent Games
David Moyes, in his programme notes, believes performances have been better than results. “Recent performances have been better than the results we have endured in our past two matches.

Pep Guardiola on Visiting Everton
Ahead of the game tonight, City boss Pep Guardiola spoke about the trip to Everton. He said: “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 it has always been tough.
“In recent weeks, Everton have had very good results and are fighting for a place in Europe.
“We won with two or three actions here, but we were not good at that moment. We can’t have any result but win, win, win.”
