Manchester United vs Everton Preview

Manchester United welcome Everton to Old Trafford on Monday evening for a Premier League encounter that sees the hosts seeking to convert their solid recent form into three points. United enter this fixture having drawn 2-2 away at Tottenham Hotspur in their most recent outing, a result that extended their unbeaten run but represented a missed opportunity to claim maximum points. Prior to that draw, they also shared the spoils 2-2 away at Nottingham Forest. However, earlier in this sequence United demonstrated their attacking prowess with a 4-2 home victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, won 2-1 away at Liverpool, and secured a 2-0 home success against Sunderland, leaving them with three wins and two draws across their last five matches – an unbeaten run that will provide confidence.

Everton arrive at Old Trafford having secured a 2-0 home victory over Fulham in their most recent match, a result that ended a difficult patch and demonstrated their ability to grind out results on home turf. Prior to that success, the Toffees drew 1-1 away at Sunderland in what proved to be a hard-fought point on the road. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered back-to-back defeats, losing 3-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur and falling 2-0 away at Manchester City. However, they also claimed a 2-1 home win over Crystal Palace, leaving them with two victories, one draw and two losses across their last five fixtures.

The head-to-head record strongly favours Manchester United, who have won three of the last five meetings between these sides, with no Everton victories alongside two draws. Most recently, the sides played out a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in a pre-season friendly in August 2025, while they also drew 2-2 at Goodison Park in February 2025. However, Manchester United claimed comprehensive home victories of 4-0 in December 2024 and 2-0 in March 2024, while also securing a 3-0 away win at Goodison Park in November 2023.

Monday’s encounter represents a crucial opportunity for Manchester United to capitalize on their home advantage and superior head-to-head record to secure three points and maintain their unbeaten run, while Everton will be eager to claim a rare victory at Old Trafford and build on their recent home success against Fulham. The match kicks off at 20:00 GMT, with fans in Great Britain able to watch on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, while international viewers can tune in via fuboTV and USA Network in the USA, DAZN in Canada, or beIN Sports across the Middle East and Africa.
