Everton 0-0 Man City Live Score, Premier League 2025-26: Pickford Denies Cherki

Pickford denies Cherki. A warning for Everton as the visitors register their first shot on target; Cherki unleashes a powerful strike, but fortunately for the Toffees, it goes straight at Pickford, who comfortably beats it away.

City's pressure on Everton intensifies as another corner is awarded. Silva delivers from the right, but the ball drifts to the near post without finding a City teammate, allowing Everton to clear it somewhat carelessly for another corner. This subsequent delivery curls right under Pickford’s crossbar, where it is successfully headed away to safety.

The match is underway at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. Man City are in their green away jersey and are attacking from left to right. Everton are in their home blue jersey and are building up from right to left. Both teams battle for possession in the initial stages of the game.

Everton’s most recent outing was a heartbreaking 1–2 defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium on Saturday, April 25, 2026. After a scoreless first half that saw both sides struggle to break the deadlock, the game ignited in the second half when Tomáš Souček powered home a header from a Jarrod Bowen corner in the 51st minute to give the Hammers the lead. Everton fought valiantly to claw their way back into the contest, finally finding an equalizer in the 88th minute through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who lashed a strike into the roof of the net following a well-directed header down by James Tarkowski.

However, the parity was short-lived, as the match ended in dramatic fashion when Callum Wilson slotted home a close-range winner for West Ham deep in stoppage time, assisted once again by Bowen. The defeat was particularly bitter for Everton manager David Moyes, who was left fuming after a late penalty appeal for a potential handball by Mateus Fernandes was dismissed by VAR. Ultimately, the result dealt a significant blow to the Toffees' hopes of European qualification, while providing West Ham with a vital boost in their own survival battle.

Manchester City's last competitive match before their league game against Everton was their FA Cup semi-final against Southampton on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
