The weekend’s Premier League action commences at Old Trafford

On Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford, Manchester United look to bounce back after two consecutive Premier League losses. Rasmus Hojlund’s injury disrupted their fine form, making them appear disjointed. Erik ten Hag’s team, plagued by injuries, had a promising start in the recent derby against Manchester City but ended up losing 3-1. United aims to put their sorrows behind them against Everton, who, despite improving, remain dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Currently, Everton are only six points away from the drop, with Luton Town and Nottingham attempting to catch up. Although Everton hasn’t won in their last five outings, they have managed to accumulate three points through three draws and two losses. Despite being thrashed by United earlier in the season, the Toffees believe they have a chance against the struggling Red Devils.

Jack Harrison (Everton)

Jack Harrison is known for his versatility and work ethic on the pitch. He possesses good speed and utilizes his quick feet to take on defenders and create space for himself and teammates.

Notably honed during his time under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds, Harrison is known for his tireless work rate both offensively and defensively. He presses opponents with aggression and contributes significantly to his team’s high-intensity style of play.

Match prediction for Manchester United vs Everton

After showing signs of improvement in February, Manchester United’s resurgence took a hit with Rasmus Hojlund’s injury, coinciding with a return to their earlier dismal form in the autumn and winter. It is imperative for them to adopt a more adventurous approach against Everton. However, Sean Dyche’s team have showcased impressive performances on the road this season and is more than capable of securing at least a point.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Everton
