Form Guide
United’s form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a recent 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. In contrast, Everton has thrived since Moyes’ return in January, winning four of their last six league matches. Their aggressive, front-foot style has seen striker Beto rediscover his scoring touch, netting four goals in his last three appearances. With Crystal Palace the latest to fall victim to Everton’s resurgence, the Toffees will be confident heading into this clash.
Recent Meetings
United’s biggest win under Ruben Amorim came in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, where Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee each scored twice in a 4-0 victory. That result extended United’s winning streak against Everton to five league matches. The Toffees’ last victory in this fixture came in April 2022, courtesy of an Anthony Gordon goal at Goodison Park. Saturday’s match will be the 33rd and final Premier League meeting between the two teams at the stadium, with United seeking their 20th win at the ground.
Predictions
With Everton in good form and United dealing with injuries, this fixture promises to be competitive. However, United’s recent dominance over the Toffees, coupled with their motivation to secure a top-four finish, could give them the edge. Expect a close contest, with United narrowly edging it thanks to their attacking firepower.
