Everton vs Man United: EPL Match Preview, Odds & Prediction
Everton and Manchester United will clash in the Premier League next weekend. The match, set to take place at Goodison Park, will see David Moyes’s side take on Ruben Amorim’s team. The game is scheduled to kick off at 1:30 P.M Nigerian time next Saturday.
Previous Matches and Head-to-head
Everton, one of the Premier League’s most historic and established clubs, have been flirting with relegation in recent seasons, and this campaign initially seemed to follow a similar pattern. However, since David Moyes returned to the club, the Toffees have shown improvement. Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League with 30 points from 25 matches, they are now 13 points clear of the relegation zone and appear safe from the drop.
Everton will head into their next Premier League match against Manchester United at Goodison Park on the back of a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. This followed a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at home and a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the FA Cup fourth round.
On the other hand, Manchester United, arguably England’s biggest club and one of the most globally supported, have struggled for over a decade. Despite managerial changes, they have failed to return to their former glory. Ruben Amorim, who took charge in November after Erik ten Hag’s departure, has shown some promise, but overall, results have been disappointing. United are currently 15th in the league with 29 points from 25 matches.
The Red Devils will travel to Goodison Park next weekend following a 1-0 loss to Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Prior to that, they secured a 2-1 win over Leicester City in the FA Cup but suffered a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the league.
