The earliest match of round 28 of the Premier League is the clash between Man Utd and Everton. Both teams are not in good form at the moment. A win in this match will help Man Utd return to the race for a ticket to the European Cup 1. Everton needs at least 1 point to quickly move away from the danger zone.
Man Utd vs Everton Prediction
Man Utd are going through 2 difficult matches and they have just lost to their opponents. The defeat against Man City is not much to say, because this is a predicted result. But the loss to Fulham has caused Man Utd players to receive a lot of criticism. If they want to catch up with the top 4, Man Utd cannot lose points to weaker opponents and Everton is such a team.
Rashford is expected.
However, the Old Trafford team's ambition to win 3 points was severely affected by many injuries. Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw - 3 out of 4 regular defenders were unable to play. Rasmus Hojlund was the absence that affected Man Utd's play the most.
The Danish striker contributed greatly to the team's overall performance. He scored 7 goals during Man Utd's winning streak. When Hojlund was not on the field, coach Erik ten Hag struggled with alternatives such as youngster Forson, striker Marcus Rashford and even McTomminay. None of them could do the job that Hojlund once did.
On the other side of the front line, Everton are struggling with an injury storm that is showing signs of spreading. Danjuma, Andre Gomes, Dele Alli and Idrissa Gueye are absent with their own injuries. Everton are not playing too badly but they often show their shortcomings in defense. Losing before they can attack and score - that is the biggest problem for coach Sean Dyche.
Facing an unstable Man Utd, this is an opportunity for Everton to accumulate points in a difficult period. Taking advantage of the Red Devils' mistakes, Everton has a chance to win.
Man Utd vs Everton form
Man Utd have won 4 and lost 2 of their last 6 Premier League matches. However, coach Erik ten Hag and his team have been defeated continuously without Hojlund.
Everton are going through a bad run of form. They have drawn four and lost two of their last six Premier League games, a result that could put them in trouble.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Everton
Expected lineup:
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Evans, Lindelof; Casemiro, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
Everton: Pickford; Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Garner, Onana, McNeil; Doucoure; Calvert-Lewin
