Score prediction for Everton vs MU: Red Devils find joy again

This is an opportunity for both teams to seek an important victory in the context of facing many difficulties in terms of strength and form.

Force situation

Everton will welcome back Abdoulaye Doucoure from suspension, but Alcaraz's impressive form could see the Mali midfielder compete for a starting spot. The home side still suffered a major blow with Iliman Ndiaye suffering a knee ligament injury that will keep him out for six to eight weeks. Everton are also without seven other players, including Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti. However, Beto's consistent form, averaging a goal every 114 minutes in the Premier League, is helping Everton through the tough times.

Manchester United's injury list continues to be long. However, Ruben Amorim could receive some good news as Leny Yoro, Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer could all return after recovery. However, the team is still without Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans. This causes a lot of problems for their defense and midfield. Yoro's return will be an important factor in the context of United's seriously damaged defense.

Expected lineup

Everton: Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, Harrison; Beto

Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Mazraoui, Maguire, De Ligt, Dorgu; Fernandes, Casemiro; Zirkzee, Hojlund, Garnacho

Pre-match comments

Everton were facing relegation just a few weeks ago, but the arrival of David Moyes has seen them improve significantly in the table. Under Moyes, Everton have picked up 13 points from six games, more than any other team in that period. Everton's improvement has been even more evident as they have won four of their last six games, scoring eight goals from open play, more than they did in 19 games under Sean Dyche.

On the contrary, Manchester United are in an unstable form, losing 8 of their last 12 matches, including 5/6 home matches. Their attack is facing serious problems when Rasmus Hojlund has failed to score in 15 consecutive matches, and Joshua Zirkzee has also failed to score in his last 12 matches in the tournament. This has significantly reduced United's attacking power.

History of confrontation

Manchester United have won five straight games against Everton without conceding a goal, 11-0 in their last four. If they keep another clean sheet this time, they will match their impressive run against Wolves from the 1950s.

In the first leg this season, the Red Devils won 4-0 despite only having an xG of 0.73, showing the ability to take advantage of opportunities effectively. However, recent decline in form will make the upcoming match no longer easy for Ruben Amorim's team. Everton have improved a lot and will not let United dominate as easily as before.
