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

The Reds are on a rich vein of form!

Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Monday night, making progress under Ruben Amorim, and confidence is rising after a consistent unbeaten run. Although recent matches yielded draws instead of victories, the team is starting to play with greater cohesion.

They controlled the contest against Tottenham Hotspur until the final minutes before conceding late, then snatched a point through Matthijs de Ligt. Soon after, they stumbled again against Nottingham Forest, but Amad Diallo’s long-range strike saved the result. Despite moments of lapse, United appear composed, structured, and increasingly assertive, suggesting belief is growing in their approach

Meanwhile, Everton arrive with mixed feelings. They earned a solid 2-0 win over Fulham before the break, which halted a poor sequence comprising two losses and a draw. However, their away form remains a concern.

David Moyes heads back to his former home knowing no Everton side has taken three points at Old Trafford in over a decade. Furthermore, they have not beaten United in three years.

Even so, Everton will try to unsettle them early. As the club continues its partnership with Stake.com, their front-of-shirt sponsor, the team will look to build momentum both on and off the pitch. In contrast, Manchester United know that a strong start and sharper decision-making in the final stages could shift this recent improvement into real progress. The match should show whether the turnaround is actually happening.

Players to watch out for:

Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United):

Bryan Mbeumo looks like the one Everton must keep a close eye on defensively in transitions. He leads their scoring chart this season with five goals in 11 games, showing movement in the box and confidence in front of the goal. His ability to exploit space and punish defensive lapses could turn the match if Everton lose focus even for a moment.

Iliman Ndiaye (Everton):

Iliman Ndiaye enters the game as Everton’s biggest threat. With 4 goals in 11 Premier League appearances this season, he has shown his instincts in tight spaces and a knack for finishing under pressure. If United leave gaps, his directness and ability to exploit counterattacks could cause real problems at Old Trafford.

Match Prediction:

Manchester United’s open style often leaves space at the back, so we expect each side to score. Everton create chances through hard work and movement, even without a reliable finisher. However, United usually respond with drive and sharpness in front of the goal. Expect a tense affair, with the hosts edging it thanks to their attacking consistency.
