Manchester United will look to earn their first Premier League win under Ruben Amorim’s management when they entertain Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The new Red Devils boss was denied a debut victory as his side played out a 1-1 draw at Ipswich last Sunday, in a game that brought up both of my Portman Road plays.
However, the new United chief did taste victory during his Old Trafford bow in the Europa League on Thursday night, with his side coming from behind to beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2.
Amorim will be hoping that victory will act as a springboard for further success when Everton come to town this weekend.
The Toffees are winless in their last four top-flight matches after being held to a 0-0 draw against 10-man Brentford at Goodison Park last Saturday.
That stalemate has left Sean Dyche’s side sitting in 15th position in the Premier League table, just two points above the drop zone.
How the bookies view it: Red Devils to reign supreme
Manchester United are heavy 4/9 favourites on Kwiff to claim back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the first time this season.
Three of Everton’s last four Premier League games have seen the points shared and the same outcome at Old Trafford has been priced up at 7/2 (Kwiff) while a Toffees triumph is trading at 11/2 (Kwiff).
Head to head: Red Devils rule the roost
Manchester United have claimed top honours from each of their last five encounters with Everton across all competitions.
The last two Premier League meetings between the pair at Old Trafford have ended 2-0 in United’s favour. The same scoreline on Sunday can be backed at 6/1 with Kwiff.
Players to watch: Manuel in battle mode
Manuel Ugarte’s combative streak has been on show since joining Man United in the summer. The Uruguayan midfielder has committed two or more fouls in four of his five starts across all competitions thus far, making him an appealing option for multiple misdemeanours on Sunday at 4/5 (UniBet).
No player has scored more goals for Everton than Dwight McNeil (3) in the Premier League this season. The Toffees ace is 6/1 on Kwiff to add to that tally at Old Trafford this weekend.
Predicted line-ups
Rasmus Hojlund is pushing for a start on Sunday after bagging a brace during Man United's 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night, though he may have to settle for a place on the bench.
As was the case last weekend, Everton again look set to be without injured trio James Garner, Seamus Coleman and Tim Iroegbunam for this weekend’s trip to Old Trafford.
Manchester United: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez; Amad, Eriksen, Ugarte, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
Everton: Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Doucoure; Lindstrom, McNeil, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin
Anything else catch the eye?
Manchester United are too short to support as a single, so instead package up a home win alongside under 4.5 goals at 4/5 on Kwiff.
Each of the Red Devils’ four Premier League wins this season have produced four match goals or fewer.
Furthermore, a lofty 19 of Everton’s last 22 losses in the English top-flight have featured under 4.5 goals.
