Everton vs Manchester Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-21 12:30.
[p]Everton began 2025 as potential candidates for Premier League relegation, but now they are the division’s in-form side, with no one picking up more than their 13 points since manager David Moyes re-joined the club (W4, D1, L1). The Toffees now start this round as close to the top six as they do the league’s bottom three by way of points, with a 13-point gap between both. [/p]
[p]The Merseyside club are unlikely to finish near either of those positions, so Moyes can use the remainder of the campaign to build positive foundations for next season – their first in their new stadium. One obvious area for improvement when Moyes took over was in attack and the Scottish boss has done well in that regard, with the hosts having scored 12 goals in their last five Premier League games, more than they had in their previous 16 combined.[/p]
[p]While it is all smiles in the home camp, Manchester United travel on the back of two league defeats and a rather fortuitous FA Cup win over strugglers Leicester City in between. They head to Goodison Park for the final time sat 15th and a point worse off than Everton, making this the latest into a season they’re facing the Toffees while below them in the table since their matchday 35 meeting way back in 2013/14 (Everton 5th, Man Utd 7th).[/p]
[p]Adding to the sombre mood at United is the club’s current injury crisis, with the visit to Tottenham last week seeing the Red Devils without 12 senior squad members. That won’t stop manager Ruben Amorim from feeling the pressure after an eighth defeat from his 14 league games in charge, but maybe he can take confidence from United having won six successive competitive H2Hs against Everton. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Everton forward Beto has scored four goals in five Premier League matches under David Moyes – as many as he managed in his 42 league appearances under previous boss Sean Dyche. You’d have to go back to December for the last time Joshua Zirkzee scored in the league – that was a brace in a 4-0 win against Everton. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: David Moyes is chasing a third-straight home H2H win against former club United – each of the previous two came with clean sheets. [/p]
