Key Players to Watch in Everton vs Manchester United
Jack Harrison (Everton)
Jack Harrison was signed on a season-long deal from Leeds United and has failed to impress the Everton fans this season. Due to the unavailability of both Ndiaye and Calvert-Lewin, Harrison is expected to get a run in the team despite not registering a goal this season.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has continued his stellar form in the Premier League once again in the 2024/25 campaign. The Portuguese has made 21 goal contributions across all competitions and has an xG of 1.37 from his last five games.
Everton vs Manchester United Prediction
Everton are not the favorites for this tie due to their poor run of form in the Premier League this season. The Toffees have produced fine displays since the arrival of David Moyes and have won four of his first six Premier League games. Everton will enter this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace over the weekend.
As for Manchester United, they are languishing in the bottom half of the league standings and will aim to improve their position this weekend. Goals across the squad have been difficult to come by and they have struggled to keep a clean in their last three matches.
Predicted Score: Everton 1-2 Manchester United
