Match Preview:

Everton have climbed to 9th place after a solid season and now sit just two points outside the European spots. Their home form has been less convincing, with only four wins from thirteen matches at their impressive new stadium. Recent results have been mixed, consisting of two wins, four draws, and one defeat.

Manchester United occupy 5th place and are currently positioned for Champions League qualification. Their away form has been respectable with four wins from thirteen fixtures, and they come into this match unbeaten in nine league games, a run that includes five victories and four draws.

Betting Preview:

Everton managed to beat Man Utd 1-0 in the last meeting of the two sides, despite playing with 10 men for long periods. This is a different United now free of the shackles under Amorim. They are short odds though and Everton have more than enough to get something here. Either both score Yes or the Draw being the better options.
