Everton vs MU score prediction: Red Devils find joy again

This is an opportunity for both teams to seek an important victory in the context of many difficulties in terms of force 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 hosts are still hit by a major blow as Iliman Ndiaye has suffered a knee ligament injury and is 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 a difficult period.

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 review

Everton were in danger of 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 all 19 under Sean Dyche.

On the contrary, Manchester United are in 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.

Head to Head History

Manchester United have won five consecutive 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 record 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 their ability to take advantage of opportunities effectively. However, their recent decline in form means the upcoming match will not be easy for Ruben Amorim's team. Everton have improved a lot and will not let United dominate as easily as before.
