Manchester United will travel to Goodison Park for the final time this weekend when they take on Everton in Saturday's early Premier League kick-off.
The Toffees come into the match in superb form after picking up 13 points from their last five league matches and will fancy their chances of another win against a deeply troubled Man Utd side.
The Red Devils are still yet to take to Ruben Amorim's system and with just 13 matches to go, they find themselves in 15th position in the league table.
How the bookies view it: The hosts start as favourites
For perhaps the first time in Premier League history, Everton start a match against Manchester United as the favourites to win the match with the bookies. BoyleSports have priced a win for Everton at 6/4 while a victory for Manchester United has been priced at 15/8. The draw, which wouldn't be a bad result for either team, has been priced at 2/1.
Recent head-to-head: Advantage Man Utd
If Ruben Amorim is looking for the ideal team to face to get a much-needed win on the board, then Everton are perhaps that team. The Red Devils have won each of their last six matches against the Toffees and haven't conceded a goal to them in any of the last four. Everton's last win over Man Utd was a 1-0 victory in April 2022.
Players to watch: Beto to show United's forwards how it's done?
The whole Everton squad has seemingly benefitted from the appointment of David Moyes but one man who has completely exploded into life is Beto. The 27-year-old striker has scored four goals in his last three Premier League appearances, including the opener in the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park.
Beto's form is in complete contrast to how the forwards at Man Utd are faring at the moment. Rasmus Hojlund, a man who cost the club £72m, hasn't scored in any of his last 15 appearances for the club and has just two league goals to his name all season.
Hojlund's understudy, Joshua Zirkzee, hasn't been good in front of goal, either. The Dutch forward has just one goal in his last 13 appearances in all competitions and has just three league goals to his name all season.
How the forwards at both ends of the pitch get on could go a long way to determining the winner on Saturday and the signs are far more positive for Everton.
Predicted line-ups
Everton's recent run of form is even more impressive when you consider the injuries they currently have. Moyes will be without eight players this weekend, including Seamus Coleman, Iliman Ndiaye, Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Man Utd have been blindsided by several important injuries in recent weeks, too, with Manuel Ugarte, Toby Collyer, Kobbie Maino and Amad all going down in training last week. The quartet join Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez on the sidelines.
Everton: Pickford – O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko – Gueye, Garner – Lindstrom, Doucoure, Alcaraz – Beto
Man Utd: Onana – Mazrouai, Maguire, De Ligt – Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu – Garnacho, Zirkzee – Hojlund
Anything else catch the eye?
Despite David Moyes' reputation of being a negative manager, Everton have been among the goals since he returned to the club. Everton have scored two or more goals in four of their last five Premier League matches and are priced at 6/4 with BoyleSports to do the same on Saturday.
