Everton vs Manchester United
Match Preview
Everton's meeting with Manchester United at Goodison Park already carries early-season weight. David Moyes' side head in full of confidence after picking up maximum points from their opener, while Michael Carrick's United arrive under early scrutiny following a shock stumble.
Everton opened with a composed 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, with midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall pulling the strings after a breakout campaign last season. Manchester United endured a torrid start instead, beaten 2-0 away by newly promoted Hull City, their first ever league defeat to the club, with both goals conceded from set pieces. Captain Bruno Fernandes admitted United keep repeating the same mistakes on the road, even as the club rebuilt its midfield over the summer with Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans all arriving. Historically, United hold a clear edge in this fixture, losing just twice in their last ten meetings with Everton.
Our prediction: 2-1
