Premier League: Manchester United VS Everton: Head-to-head, probable lineup, prediction
Everton takes on Manchester United in an unusually late Sunday evening kickoff.When hosting Manchester United at Goodison Park, Everton will try to inflict further agony on the Red Devils. This weekend, the Toffees will be gunning for a marquee scalp following a six-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League
Two Icons in charge of EvertonManchester City handed Manchester United a hammering last week, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden each scoring a hat-trick. This ended Manchester United's four-match Premier League winning streak.
It is easy to forget the improvement Erik ten Hag's team had made in recent weeks and months before their journey to the Etihad Stadium, Qatar, given their derby day thrashing at the hands of Manchester City.
Antony, Anthony Martial, and Marcus Rashford all scored goals recently, while Cristiano Ronaldo is content to assist, but he would prefer to cut himself.
Nonetheless, they will face the Premier League's most formidable defence. Frank Lampard has made his club much more challenging to defeat over the summer by constructing a more robust foundation; therefore, Goodison Park is likely to be rocking.
After avoiding relegation last season, Everton has rebounded from consecutive league losses to find its footing under Frank Lampard.
However, they have appeared sturdy this season, especially at the back. They conceded 66 goals last season, but the signing of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski has been an instant success as the duo has worked relentlessly to shore up the Toffees' defence.
Head-to-head: Manchester United has won 90 games, whereas Everton has emerged victorious in 71. In comparison, 47 games have been drawn.
Everton's predicted lineup
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in contention for United's visit after returning to training. However, considering the severity of his injury issues, it is unlikely that the England international will be pushed back into action.
Alex Iwobi provides competition for Abdoulaye Doucoure, but Anthony Gordon is expected to start after coming off the bench in Saturday's victory over Southampton.
Everton's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been a rock, and he will be kept busy against Manchester United. Seamus Coleman and Vitaliy Mykolenko will flank Conor Coady and James Tarkowski.
Predicted lineup: Pickford, Gordon, Maupay, Gray, Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Onana, Gueye, and Iwobi.
Manchester United's predicted lineup
United could welcome back Raphael Varane after his recent ankle injury, while Anthony Martial is hoping to start with Marcus Rashford.
Luke Shaw is anticipated to replace Tyrell Malacia in the starting lineup with Jadon Sancho starting on the bench.
Due to injuries, Manchester United will travel without Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny van de Beek, and club captain Harry Maguire.
Predicted lineup: De Gea, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, and Eriksen.
Manchester United vs Everton prediction
Recent performances by Everton demonstrate their defensive brilliance, and Manchester United will have their hands difficult with Conor Coady and company.
However, no team in the Premier League has conceded more shots than the Toffees (135) this season, and the Toffees have also failed to produce an excellent offensive performance.
So, it looks like Manchester United might be able to return to winning ways against Everton.
Final prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Everton
