Everton are currently 12th with 38 points after 29 matches. Martinez’s team aren’t involved neither in the battle for eurocups’ places nor relegation battle. The team is under no pressure and they might surprise with results at the end of the season. The team recorded 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last five matches including bitter 0-2 loss to Arsenal at home last matchday with 6-7 aggregate goal difference. At the same time, the Toffee’s show excellent results on the road recently as they took 4 wins and suffered on defeat in last five clashes on the road. They scored in all of these away matches and recorded 3 clean sheets.
Everton have advantage in recent head-to-heads between the opponents with 3 wins while the United have only two. The previous meeting of the teams ended with confident 3-0 victory of the Red Devils at Goodison Park. As it was expected, Manchester United are favorites (2.00) according to money lines, while Everton considered as underdogs (3.79). Bookmakers don’t expect the match to be eventful, offering 1.75 for under 2.5 goals in the match and 2.05 for the opposite. The United aren’t in their best conditions but Everton can be hardly called a top team. As recent head-to-heads prove, the match can go either way. The best option is to avoid picking a team and count on both opponents to score at least once.
Prediction for the match: Both team to score – yes.
