Everton and Manchester United face off on Sunday in an English Premier League showdown at Goodison Park. When these two teams faced off on April 9th it was Everton that secured the 1-0 victory.
Manchester United comes into this game sitting in 6th place in the standings having picked up 12 points. This has been an inconsistent season for Manchester United, and they are trying to bounce back from a blowout loss by Manchester City. The offense scored three goals, but the defense was awful, giving up six goals, and that led to the defeat. They were out shot 10-8, and they need the defense to be a lot better in this game. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny van de Beek and Harry Maguire are all dealing with injuries, and they won’t able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Everton, who sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up 10 points. In the last game against Southampton, Everton scored two goals and that was enough to secure the one-goal victory. Everton fell behind in the 49th minute, but they made the comeback and scored two goals within three minutes. Everton had 45 percent of the possession and five shots on target. Ben Godfrey, Nathan Patterson, Mason Holgate and Yerry Mina are dealing with injuries, and they aren’t going to be able to go here. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is healthy, but it’s unclear if he will be able to go in this game.
Everton is a good defensive team, and they are going to slow down Manchester United here. I don’t trust this Everton offense, though, and this game is going to be low scoring. Look for this game to be 0-0 or 1-1 but the under is going to cash here.
