Manchester United vs Everton Prediction & Match Preview

• Manchester United won six of the previous eight games in all competitions.
• Everton travel to Old Trafford with just 1 win in the previous 14 outings across competitions.
• The Toffees shipped three goals in the home clash against West Ham last Saturday.

Manchester United and Everton will raise the curtain on Matchday No 28 in English Premier League. The old rivals meet each other in the first game of Saturday’s Premier League schedule at Old Trafford. Manchester United will be looking to snap a two-loss thread while Everton are searching for salvation points.

Manchester United shocked their city rivals with an early Marcus Rashford wonder-goal in the last weekend’s derby. They then defended very well all up until the 58th minute when Phil Foden made it all square with a fantastic shot from outside the box. City continued their dominance on the pitch and it paid off with two more goals in a 3-1 victory for them at Etihad Stadium.

Everton faced the same destiny in somewhat different circumstances last Saturday. They had the lead in the home clash against West Ham but went on to concede three goals against the run of play at Goodison. The fact the Toffees fired 11 shots on target on the occasion says enough about the happenings on the pitch.

Recent Meetings

• Manchester United will rely on recent tradition as they won each of the previous four clashes against the Toffees.
• The run includes an impressive 3-0 victory for the Red Devils in November last year at Goodison Park.
• We’ve seen three or more goals in three of the previous four head-to-head matches between these counterparts.

Manchester United vs Everton Prediction

Manchester United may have lost successive Premier League games but they still have six wins in the previous eight outings across competitions. Everton, on the other side, managed just a single victory in the last 14 affairs in all competitions.

When you add United’s run of four subsequent wins in the head-to-head games against the Toffees, you get great value in the home win pick at the attractive 1.83 odds.

We have frequently praised Everton for their stubborn defensive showings under Sean Dyche since the turn of the year. However, the Toffees’ back line did not look great in the home match against West Ham seven days ago. Furthermore, Everton did not keep a single clean sheet in the previous five Premier League games.

This will be the music to the ears of Manchester United’s attackers. In the absence of Rasmus Hojlund (still injured), the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford will get the most chances in the final third. Garnacho is the team’s third top scorer with five goals to his name this season.

We can see great value in backing the Argentinean youngster to score anytime at home against Everton at the sky-high 3.60 odds.
