EPL: Everton VS Man United - Prediction

Manchester United will look to build on their first victory of the new Premier League season when they travel to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday. Michael Carrick’s side had a difficult start to the campaign, suffering a disappointing defeat against newly promoted Hull City. However, United responded in impressive fashion in their second match, beating Ipswich Town 5-2 at Old Trafford. Captain Bruno Fernandes was the star of the game, scoring a hat-trick as United produced 33 shots.

That win was exactly what United needed after the poor opening result. More importantly, their attacking performance against Ipswich showed signs of improvement. Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Marcus Rashford give Carrick several attacking options, while Fernandes remains the player capable of making the biggest difference.

However, facing Everton away from home should provide a much tougher test. David Moyes’ side have made a solid start to the season and remain unbeaten in the Premier League. Everton opened their campaign with a victory over Crystal Palace before earning a 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth. They also recorded a comfortable win over Preston North End in the Carabao Cup.

Man United boss Michael Carrick is also expecting a very tough game tomorrow against the Toffees. Carrick said, "To be honest, however long I've been going to Everton, and I know it was Goodison before, every single game has been as tough as the come. So, we've had some good results. We've had some not so good results and last year opitimises how hard it was and how much we had to give to get the results. Whatever position they're in, wherever they are in the league; historically, whenever I've gone there, it's been tough, whatever state they're in."
