Everton vs Manchester United

Saturday is here again and as always, so much excitements in the air. The main premier league actions kick off today as usual as we anticipate an exciting premier league matchday. Man United is set to face Everton away at the Goodison Park as they aim to close in their top 4 race.

Everton are not doing badly at the moment even though they lost their last premier league game. They have a very good chance of moving above the top half of the table if they are able to get the job done against Man United at home later tomorrow. According to the odds, they are considered slight favorites to get the job done at home and also judging based on their recent performances, they are more than capable of getting all 3 points in this fixture at home.

Everton are expected to line up in a 4-4-2 formation. They like to play football when they have the chance to and playing against Man United would give them the confidence to try to dominate possession. Also, they are very good on the counter-attack which is another avenue for them to cause Man United problems at home and above all, get the crucial 3 points.

Man United recent form have been quite good and are beginning to pick up momentum again. They’ve earned back-to-back wins in their last 2 premier league games and a crucial progress into the next round in their ongoing Europa League campaign. So far so good for them, their chances of playing champions league football have expanded as they are already looking more than likely to make it to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and also, they are just 3 points outside the top 4. Another great news for them is that, if UEFA 2-year ban on Man City remains, it means that Man United are already in the champions league position as the team that finishes 5th will automatically qualify for the champions league. Man United will be continuing their top 4 quest when the face Everton later tomorrow at the Goodison Park, a tricky fixture for them away from home.

Man United are expected to set up in a 3-5-2 or a 4-2-3-1 formation. They are a counter-attacking team, so we are expecting Man United to sit back and try to utilize their counter-attacking qualities to hurt Everton.
