Everton

DWDLDD

Previously, Everton drew 0-0 in the Premier League tie with Brentford.

In that match, Everton managed 59% possession and 27 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. On the other side, Brentford had 9 shots at goal with 2 on target.

Clashes with Everton have ended up being rather laboured ones in recent times with a dearth of scoring almost becoming expected. During their past six clashes, the very low gross goal sum of 5 has been yielded between both them and their opponents at an average goals per match of 0.83. That trend won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

Taking a look at their past results, Everton:

• have not beaten Manchester United in away games against them for the last 10 league matches. A very poor run of away results.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Manchester United

Harry Maguire (unknown injury) and Daniel Gore (Shoulder injury) are unavailable for Manchester United gaffer Rúben Amorim.

We think that The Red Devils could use a 3-4-3 formation for this game and select Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hoejlund and Marcus Rashford.

🗞️ Team News: Everton

Everton boss Sean Dyche has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Chermiti (Foot injury), Armando Broja (Achilles tendon problems) and Séamus Coleman (unknown injury) miss out here.

We’re of the thinking that The Toffees might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Jordan Pickford, Ashley Young, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitalii Mykolenko, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Jesper Lindstroem, Dwight McNeil, Iliman Ndiaye and D. Calvert-Lewin.

⚡ Prediction

For this match, we think that Manchester United should really create the chances to score more than once when they play Everton, who may well struggle getting goals.

We can therefore see a controlled 2-0 victory for Manchester United at the conclusion of the game.
