Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Manchester United vs. Everton at EPL
The Red Devils have an exhausting schedule these days, but that’s like when you have high ambitions and want to win trophies. Meanwhile, Everton is all but that this year, with the Toffies battling to survive in the English Premier League. For now, things aren’t looking good for the team from Goodison, who needs every point to avoid relegation.
Manchester United
The Red Devils still hold on to one of the places in the top-four zone, yet they aren’t safe, and there will be plenty of pressure on them from Tottenham and other rivals who are behind.
Losing to Newcastle was a big setback, not only because it was against the direct rival for one of the top four spots but because United lost another derby. Following the one against Liverpool, 7-0, they yet again managed to come up short and fail to score.
Ten Hag’s crew has been without a defeat at home since early September, which is a remarkable achievement that needs to be respected. A vast majority of those events saw the hosts winning and scoring at least twice.
Everton
Sean Dyche started his tenure at Goodison with a victory against Arsenal, but he couldn’t exploit that swing too much because his unit simply doesn’t have enough quality. So far, Everton has three victories with Dyche leading the way, and all were at home with a minimal result.
There are no secrets regarding his game plan. Dyche cements the back line and waits for set pieces or some counter-attacks to score. If that doesn’t happen, he will gladly take a draw.
Everton’s record on the road is appalling. This team hasn’t triumphed in the previous 12 away games, with the most recent win away from Goodison taking place on October 1st in Southampton, 1-2.
Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Sabitzer, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey; Iwobi, Onana, Gueye, Doucoure, McNeil; Gray
United won in both matches played this year. The first was at Goodison 1-2, and the second at Trafford, the FA Cup clash, 3-1. Everton didn’t triumph over United since April 2014. When looking at the games in Manchester, the Toffees last won 10 years ago.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see who is a better team here. Despite Dyche’s ultra-defensive approach, his team’s chances of avoiding a defeat at Old Trafford are virtually non-existent. That’s why our pick here is United.
Our verdict: Manchester United wins
