Premier League: Everton vs Manchester United - 09/10/2022

Everton come into the game having recorded a 2-1 win at Southampton in the Premier League last weekend. The Toffees fell a goal behind shortly after half time but responded superbly to score 2 goals of their own just 5 minutes later to take maximum points.

That result means Everton are undefeated in their last 7 matches in all competitions. They have won each of their last 2 games, both of which have come in the Premier League and there have been draws at Brentford and Leeds United plus a 0-0 draw at home against Liverpool.

However, home form in the Premier League shows Everton have recorded only 1 win from their 4 most recent matches.

The win came over West Ham United but despite only winning 1 game in their last 4 at home, Everton are proving difficult to beat on home soil. They have lost only 2 of their last 10 home fixtures in the Premier League.

Manchester United make the short journey to Goodison Park having beat Omonia Nicosia 3-2 away from home in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Having been trailing 1-0 at half time, Manchester United came out strongly in the second half and scored 3 goals before conceding a second themselves in the final minutes.

It was important for Manchester United to bounce back with a win following the 6-3 humiliation at Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend.

However, despite being second best in that game, Manchester United have won 4 of their last 5 Premier League fixtures. There have been wins over Liverpool and Arsenal at home plus Southampton and Leicester City away.

Away form in the Premier League shows Manchester United have won 2 of their 3 most recent matches but they are the only wins from their last 10 away trips in the league.

Trends show Manchester United have conceded at least 1 goal in each of their last 8 Premier League games against Everton.
