Marco Silva of Everton indifferent to the title race between Manchester City and Liverpool

Marco Silva insists that Everton has no interest in influencing the title race as he tries to stabilize a season that is likely to sink into mediocrity at the mid-table.

Everton could serve his close neighbors and current leaders of the Premier League, Liverpool, by earning points in Manchester City at Goodison Park on Wednesday, although this idea is not pleasant for some fans.

However, Silva, who desperately needs a good result after six defeats in his last nine league games, does not want to get involved in the debate.

"It's not up to us to watch this (title) fight. We know what our fight is. Of course, our fans want our team to win the game. That's the most important thing, "he said.

"It's not just two teams competing for the title. There are many games to play. Nothing will be decided tomorrow in our match against City.

"We have to turn to ourselves and set our goal for the match. Nothing changes. Even if you have not managed to win the last home game, nothing has changed since the first moment, we have announced our goal. "

City's visit marks the start of a series of home games against Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. It's a difficult race that could not have been worse with only three wins in 12 league games dating back to December 2nd.

"It's the reality for us," Silva said. "We're not looking for what's going to happen in the next five or six games, it's going to be tough and that makes no sense if you look at them and are afraid of something.

"We have to look at ourselves and see what we do differently and better. We have to improve what we did in the last game, because if we do not improve, it will not be difficult for them (City). "

Silva confirmed that midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye would be available for a visit to Manchester City after failing in his transfer to Paris St Germain.

The Senegalese international reportedly sent a letter to the club officials to allow them to join the Ligue 1 champions after the rejection of their initial offer, but a second improved approach of £ 26 million was rejected at the closing of the window.

Gueye missed the next two games due to a groin injury, but the 29-year-old could be selected against City and Silva is confident in the fact that he will be back fully focused .

"It was a difficult time for him," he said. "When you have clubs around you, important clubs in Europe, that can change your focus, but he is a fantastic professional in our club and I'm sure he will be so in the future.

"It's important for him to keep doing what he's because when a club like this signs it, we know that Gana is doing things right and I'm here to continue to do it." help to continue to perform at this level.

"If the good things happen to him, it's because he's fine and that means he has to keep doing it."
