Manuel Akanji remains confident Manchester City will rediscover their spark after another frustrating result for the ailing champions. City’s malaise now looks to have taken root after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at the Etihad Stadium on Boxing Day.
City at least avoided a 10th defeat in 13 games in all competitions, but the surrendered two points left them 14 behind Liverpool and the Premier League leaders also have a game in hand.
