Manuel Akanji remains confident Manchester City will rediscover their spark despite yet 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.

They at least avoided the indignity of a 10th defeat in 13 games in all competitions, but the surrendered two points left them 14 behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand. With just one win since October, it has been a dramatic fall from grace for Pep Guardiola's previously all-conquering side but defender Akanji remains upbeat.
The Switzerland international said: 'It felt like a frustrating afternoon but, when you compare it to the other matches, we played really well from the first minute to the last. 'We tried to score a goal, we tried to play offensive football, but they basically scored out of nowhere. We did enough to win the match but it didn't turn our way.
Manuel Akanji remains confident that Manchester City will rediscover their spark. 'We need to keep on working and the next opportunity is in a few days. There's nothing else we can do at the moment. We're trying everything. 'We've had lots of injuries, so it's not easy at the moment, but even now we will find a way and come out of this and luck will come again on our side.'.
