Key Players to Watch in Man United vs Everton

Alejandro Garnacho (Man United)

The Argentinian has been established as one of the sought-after players in the Premier League in the past two seasons and has made a decent start to his new campaign with the Red Devils. The 20-year-old has played in 19 games, bagging seven goals and four assists.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is one of the longest-serving players in the current Everton squad and his contract with the club expires at the end of the current campaign. But he has only two goals and one assist to show in 12 Premier League matches this season.

Man United vs Everton Prediction

Man United are the favourites for this tie despite sitting at the bottom half of the table after 12 games. The Red Devils began their Ruben Amorim era in an underwhelming fashion with a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town over the weekend. The squad will be eager to register their first Premier League win under the new boss at home. Amorim is eager to extend United’s undefeated run to six matches when the team faces Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt in the midweek tie.

As for Everton, they are missing some crucial players in this tie but could be back on track against a side who have suffered extensively this season. Sean Dyche’s men have suffered defeat once in their last eight matches and managed just two wins which has left fans frustrated. We can expect a cracking encounter between both sides.

Predicted Score: Man United 2-1 Everton
