Each team's starting lineup is as per their last match in this tournament.
Manchester United
Ruben Amorim's debut as head coach can hardly be called successful. His new charges, having quickly taken the lead in an away game against Ipswich, failed to hold onto the advantage and settled for a draw (1-1). Nevertheless, the Red Devils are unbeaten in their last three league matches, with one win and two draws. The club is in 12th place, just three points shy of the European competition zone. Notably, only three teams have scored fewer goals than Manchester United (13 goals) in the Premier League.
- In the last 13 league games, no more than three goals have been scored in Manchester United's matches.
- In their last six Premier League matches, Manchester United has suffered only one defeat (2 wins and 3 draws).
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in the club's last five home Premier League games.
Everton
The Merseyside club played to 0-0 draws against West Ham and Brentford in the last two rounds. Prior to that, they lost 0-1 to Southampton. As a result, Everton has failed to score in three consecutive league matches, a streak not seen since January this year. Everton has scored just 10 goals, with only Southampton scoring fewer in the league with nine goals. Sean Dyche's side is currently 15th, just two points ahead of the nearest relegation zone rival.
- In their last eight Premier League games, Everton has suffered just one defeat (2 wins and 5 draws).
- No more than two goals have been scored in Everton's last six league games.
- The team failed to score in the second half in nine consecutive away Premier League matches.
Manchester United vs. Everton: Match Prediction
Everton had a favorable schedule in the last eight rounds, with Newcastle being the strongest opponent. This allowed the team to pick up some points, but they only managed two wins. Even against close competitors in the lower half of the table, Everton struggled offensively. Given Manchester United's solid defense, I doubt the visitors will trouble the home goalkeeper.
Manchester United has won their last four Premier League encounters with Everton. At Old Trafford, the Red Devils are unbeaten against Everton in the league for ten matches (6 wins and 4 draws). I am confident the hosts will prevail in this match, as Everton performs poorly on the road, having won just once in their last 17 away Premier League games (6 draws and 10 losses).
My prediction – Manchester United to Win
