Everton head coach Marco Silva accepts that now is the time for himself and his players to show a reaction, having lost five of their last seven Premier League games.

The Toffees were beaten 3-1 at home by Wolves on Saturday, with Silva well aware that recent performances have not been good enough and that an improvement is needed sooner rather than later.

Now is not the moment to find excuses. Now it is the moment to find solutions.

He told the club's official website: "It is now our obligation to turn things to our favour to give something back, firstly to ourselves, but of course to our fans.

"Now is not the moment to find excuses. Now it is the moment to find solutions.

"Many things went wrong against Wolves. When you lose like that, playing at home and giving easy things to our opponent, it is a tough afternoon.

"Wolves were better than us, but when I can see how we lost the game - making it too easy - it is really tough for me and for us as a team."

Next up for the Merseysiders is a visit from reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, with the Citizens having claimed a 3-1 win in this fixture at Goodison Park last season.

City also won the meeting of the two sides at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season by a 3-1 margin, with Gabriel Jesus having scored three times across those two matches.

Everton can be backed at 17/4 to secure a draw against the Citizens, with the Toffees 4/6 to finish in the top half of the Premier League table this season.
