Everton vs Man Utd Prediction | Opta Analyst

Scheduled to take place at 7:30 p.m. on February 22 at Goodison Park, this match is not only important in terms of points but also affects the goals of the two teams in an important period of the season.

Everton: Not easy to beat

Everton are enjoying a significant improvement in form under David Moyes. They welcome back Abdoulaye Doucoure from suspension, but the midfielder is unlikely to get a starting spot with Alcaraz playing consistently.

In addition, the Merseyside team continues to be without Iliman Ndiaye due to a knee ligament injury, while Jack Harrison is likely to continue to replace this position. They also lost many important pillars such as Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti due to injury. However, Everton still have the support of striker Beto - who is in good form with 7 goals this season.

Everton's expected lineup:

Goalkeeper: PickfordDefenders: O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, MykolenkoMidfielders: Lindstrom, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, HarrisonForwarder: Beto

MU: Personnel crisis before important match

Manchester United face a host of personnel problems when they travel to Goodison Park. Manager Ruben Amorim can welcome back Leny Yoro, Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer, but they are still without a number of key players.

United’s injury list includes Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount and Amad Diallo. Their midfield is severely affected with both Kobbie Mainoo and Mount absent, while the defense only has Victor Lindelof as an experienced backup option.

MU's expected lineup:

Goalkeeper: OnanaDefenders: Dalot, Mazraoui, Maguire, De Ligt, DorguMidfielders: Fernandes, CasemiroForwarders: Zirkzee, Hojlund, Garnacho
