Our Prediction Tip

Manchester United will win this match.

After a four-year wait for a win against Manchester United, Everton beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s beleaguered side 4-0 when they last met at Goodison Park last season – Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott scored Everton’s goals. This season’s previous meeting ended in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, meanwhile – Victor Lindelof’s own goal cancelled out by Mason Greenwood’s equaliser.

Everton vs Manchester United Betting Tips

Manchester United have got firmly back on track with a seven-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, plenty of goals scored and just one conceded in that whole time.

Bruno Fernandes’ arrival has sparked a big upturn in attacking form and that has manifested itself in eight goals in the last two games.

The level of opposition must be taken into account – struggling Watford in the league and Club Brugge in the Europa League – but United still made light work of two wins.

Everton, meanwhile, have seen their unbeaten run ended by a 3-2 defeat to Arsenal and it is that defensive vulnerability that should interest Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

At the other end, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goalscoring form, backed by the likes of Richarlison, should give Everton confidence they can break down United’s improved defence.

But Fernandes, with fellow new boy Odion Ighalo potentially starting up front after his first goal in mid-week, can ensure United hit back at the other end.

Their last trip to Goodison Park was a horror show last season, but United can put that firmly behind them and continue their upturn in form.

Everton might start as favourites, and United have been inconsistent all season, but it is difficult to back against Solskjaer’s side for this one.

Everton vs Manchester United Prediction

Manchester United are in resurgent form and, while their recent good defensive record looks under threat from an in-form Everton attack, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side could still take all three points.

Correct Score Prediction: Everton 1-2 Manchester United

Everton Team News

Theo Walcott could be in line for a comeback after missing the Arsenal game with a knee injury, but Jean-Philippe Gbamin remains sidelined. Lucas Digne faces a late fitness test after a muscular injury. Andre Gomes appeared off the bench last time out as he continues his rehabilitation from his horrific leg break.

Everton Key Players

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – In excellent goalscoring form up front, including a late strike against Crystal Palace and an early one against Arsenal.
Richarlison – Like Calvert-Lewin, the Brazilian has scored in each of the last two matches and he now has ten league goals for the season.
Yerry Mina – The big defender scored twice against Watford but his true importance is as a towering centre-back.

Everton Team Form

Everton’s five-match unbeaten streak was ended last time out when they suffered a 3-2 defeat at Arsenal. After back-to-back wins against Watford and Crystal Palace, Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave them an early lead at the Emirates and Richarlison equalised before half-time after Arsenal hit back. The Gunners scored what proved to be the winning goal just moments after the restart, however.

Everton Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-4-2

Man United Team News

Scott McTominay’s return from injury and Odion Ighalo’s first United goal have both given Ole Gunnar Solskjaer food for thought. The former may keep his place in midfield, but the latter’s place will depend on Anthony Martial’s fitness, after he pulled up in training ahead of the Club Brugge fixture. Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford remain long-term absentees.

Man United Key Players

Bruno Fernandes – A goal and an assist against Watford was followed by another penalty against Club Brugge and it is no coincidence his arrival has led to this upturn in form.
Odion Ighalo – A surprise signing up front but, after opening his account in mid-week, Anthony Martial’s injury gives him a chance to prove his worth up front.
Harry Maguire – The big defender has helped United to their recent clean-sheet record as well as scoring twice in this unbeaten run.

Man United Team Form

Manchester United are now unbeaten in seven matches, keeping clean sheets in six of them. They have scored eight goals in the last two games as Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood netted in a 3-0 win against Watford and Fernandes, Odion Ighalo, Scott McTominay and Fred’s late double earned a 5-0 victory at home to Club Brugge in the Europa League.

Man United Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-2-3-1

Everton's resurgent form was ended by defeat to Arsenal last weekend, whereas Manchester United have scored eight goals in their last two matches and, combined with two more clean sheets, the confidence is returning for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. They will hope to continue that with three more points at Goodison Park.
Manchester United have kept clean sheets in six of their last seven matches in all competitions.
