Manchester United and Everton face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Old Trafford. These two teams faced each other in a friendly in August and Manchester United won that game 4-0. 

Manchester United currently sits in 4th place in the standings having picked up 13 points. Manchester United got out to a fast start to the season, but they are coming off a pretty shocking loss against Aston Villa. They controlled most of the games and had 28 total shots, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. In the 88th minute, Manchester United gave up a goal which led to the loss. They did play a midweek game against Villareal in the Champions League and they won 2-1. They have scored 13 goals total while their defense has given up only five. Bruno Fernandes has been the top goal scorer for this team scoring four times. Cristiano Ronaldo is also out to a hot start with three goals. 

On the other side of this matchup is Everton who sits in 5th place in the standings having picked up 13 points. Everton has been a bit inconsistent but there have been a lot more ups than downs. In the last game against Norwich City, Everton played a complete game-winning 2-0. Andros Townsend opened up the goal scoring in the 29th minute on a penalty kick, and they continued the success late with a goal by Abdoulaye Doucoure in the 77th minute. Demarai Gray has been the top player scoring three goals and adding an assist. Dominic-Calvert Lewin has also added three goals. 

Manchester United got their mojo back in the midweek game, and I expect they are going to find offensive success in this game. Two starts ago against Aston Villa, Everton gave up three goals, and that defense will creep back into this game. Ronaldo is going to score a few goals, and this game is going to get out of hand early. Back Manchester United -1.5.
