Teams Preview
Everton FC Preview
Everton narrowly avoided a fifth straight defeat in a Premier League away opener, with James Tarkowski rescuing a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth with a 91st-minute equaliser. The Toffees were the better side overall, registering 13 attempts and more shots on target, while only Djordje Petrovic’s saves denied them all three points. Jordan Pickford was equally reliable at the other end, making four saves to keep Everton in the contest.
Overall, it has been an encouraging start for the Toffees, following their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and a convincing 4-0 Carabao Cup victory at Preston. They now return to Hill Dickinson Stadium aiming to secure back-to-back league wins at home for only the second time since the stadium’s inception.
Stats that matter
1. The Toffees last won their opening two home games of a league campaign back in 2021-22.
2. No side has more shots (6) than Everton from high turnovers this season in the league so far.
3. Only Harry Redknapp (24) as a manager has lost more games against Manchester United than Everton's David Moyes’ (23).
Team News
Christian Norgaard is currently Everton’s only injury concern, with the midfielder’s availability still in doubt. There are no suspension issues to worry about.
Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Garner, Armstrong, Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry
Manchester United FC Preview
After a shock defeat to newly promoted Hull City on MD1, Manchester United needed a response against Ipswich Town—and delivered in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 5-2 victory.
Bruno Fernandes stole the show with a hat-trick and an assist, while Bryan Mbeumo added a late goal, alongside an own goal. The result ended Carrick’s three-game winless run against promoted sides and gave United the perfect start to their home campaign.
However, the scoreline also exposed a concern for Carrick, with United conceding twice and falling behind early once again. While the attack is firing, tightening up at the back will be crucial in the coming games.
Stats that matter
1. No side has won more points in the league since Michael Carrick took charge of the club (42 points).
2. Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 11 goals from 13 Premier League appearances against Everton (6G+5A).
3. Manchester United have scored three or more goals in three of their last five Premier League matches.
Team News
New signing Carlos Baleba is ruled out from the upcoming fixture, joining Manuel Ugarte and Amad Diallo on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount will face late fitness tests ahead of the fixture.
Manchester United Probable XI - Lammens (GK); Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Mainoo, Tielemans, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha
EVERTON FC vs MANCHESTER UNITED FC
Winning PredictionThe head-to-head record heavily favours Manchester United, who have won six of their last eight meetings with Everton (D1 L1), including a 1-0 victory at this venue last season. The Toffees have also failed to score in five of those six defeats, while David Moyes’ record against United offers little encouragement. With history firmly on their side, anything other than a United victory would be a surprise.
The bookmakers lean towards Manchester United, not surprisingly. One has United at 2.16 to win, Everton at 3.30 and a draw at 3.55.
