Prediction: Everton to win 2-0
Best Odds: 9/1
Everton and Manchester United will face each other in the Premier League next weekend. The match between David Moyes’s side and Ruben Amorim’s team will be held at Goodison Park and is scheduled to kick off at 12:30pm UK time next Saturday.
Everton
Everton are one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League and are one of the most established in the English top flight. However, the Toffees have been flirting with relegation to the Championship for the last few seasons, and things looked to be heading in the same direction this campaign as well.
However, Everton’s form has improved since David Moyes was brought back to the club. The Toffees are 14th in the Premier League table at the moment with 30 points from 25 matches. The Merseyside club are 13 points above the relegation zone right now and will not go down.
Everton will head into the Premier League game against Manchester United at Goodison Park next weekend on the back of a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London in the Premier League. It came after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Goodison Park in the league which followed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth at home in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Team News:
Everton are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Manchester United. Jordan Pickford will be in goal for the Toffees and will have Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaliy Mykolenko in front of him in defence. James Garner and Idrissa Gueye will be the two holding midfielders. Jesper Lindstro, Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Harrison will be the three attacking midfielders. Beto will lead the line for the Toffees.
Manchester United
Manchester United are arguably the biggest club in England and one of the most well-supported in the world. It has been dire for the Red Devils for over 10 years, with managers coming and going and failing to take them back to their glory days.
Much was expected when Ruben Amorim took charge of United in November following the departure of Erik ten Hag. There have been promising signs under the Portuguese manager, but overall it has been hugely disappointing. United are as low as 15th in the Premier League table with 29 points from 25 matches.
United will head into the Premier League game against Everton away from home at Goodison Park next weekend on the back of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur away from home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league. It came after a 2-1 victory over Leicester City at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup which followed a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace at home in the league.
Team News:
Manchester United are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Everton at Goodison Park. Andre Onana will be in goal for the visiting team. Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt will be the three defenders. Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Patrick Dorgu will be the four midfielders, Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho will be the two attacking midfielders. Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line for United.
Key Factors to Consider
- Everton have won 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches.
- Everton have scored 27 goals and conceded 31 goals in 25 Premier League matches.
- Everton have won seven of their 25 Premier League matches this season.
- Manchester United have scored 28 goals and conceded 35 goals in 25 Premier League games this campaign.
- Manchester United have won 8 of their 25 Premier League matches this campaign.
Conclusion
Manchester United are in bad shape at the moment, while Everton are flying. Playing at home will also give the Merseyside club, who should be able to pick up all three points from the game.
