Everton vs Manchester United Preview

Everton host Manchester United at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday, with the Toffees looking to continue their unbeaten start against a United side searching for consistency.

Everton’s form has been solid. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw at home to Bournemouth. Prior to that, a 4-0 away win at Preston in the EFL Cup. Before that, a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace opened their Premier League season nicely. Earlier in this run, a 1-1 draw with Lille, and before that a 3-1 away win at Newcastle in pre-season bookended a run of 5 games unbeaten.

United’s form has been patchier. Their most recent outing was a 5-2 home win over Ipswich. Prior to that, a 0-2 away defeat at Hull was a horrendous start for a side with big expectations this season. Before that, a 2-4 home loss to AC Milan. Earlier in this run, a 1-1 draw with Leeds, won on penalties, and before that a 1-1 draw away at PSG in a pre-season friendly.

The head-to-head record favours United, who have won two of the last five meetings, with two draws and one win for Everton. Most recently, United won 1-0 away at Everton. In the previous encounter, Everton won 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Everton currently sit seventh in the Premier League table with four points from two games (one win, one draw) and a goal difference of +2. United are down in tenth with three points from two matches (one win, one loss) and a goal difference of +1. That leaves Everton one point and one goal better off than their visitors heading into this one, with both clubs still finding their feet this early in the campaign.

In the UK, the match is live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with BBC Radio 5 Live also carrying commentary. In the United States, viewers can catch the action on fuboTV or USA Network. The game is also available in Germany on Sky Sport Premier League.
