Preview: Everton vs Manchester United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Toffees will take on the Red Devils on matchday 27 of the Premier League.

David Moyes’ Everton will host Michael Carrick’s Manchester United in the Premier League at the iconic Hill Dickinson Stadium. Earlier this season, the Toffees beat the Red Devils 1-0 at Old Trafford. Now United will be aiming to beat Everton at their home when both these sides lock horns in a competitive clash.

Everton have performed quite well this season, and credit must go to the manager and the players. The Toffees are in the race to get into the top five and secure a European competition slot.

So far, in 26 matches, they have won 10, drawn seven and lost nine matches. With 37 points on the table, they sit in eighth place. Moyes will have to plan this game very tactically so that they can do a double over United.

On the other hand, since Carrick took over United as a caretaker manager, the team has shown some great fighting spirit. Overall, their performance has been very good, and fans are backing Carrick to lead this team in future as well. If they can continue their form, they can finish in the top four and get a UEFA Champions League spot.

In 26 matches, they have won 12, drawn nine and lost five matches. With 45 points on the board, they sit in the fourth spot. The gap between teams is not big, and if they drop points, they might slip down in the table quickly.
