Everton vs Manchester United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Having crashed out of the Champions League against Barcelona in midweek, Manchester United will return their attention to the race for a place in the Premier League top four when they visit Everton on Sunday.

The Red Devils went down 3-0 at the Nou Camp, making it four defeats in consecutive away games for the first time since 1999.

Latest odds

However, having recorded a record 36 Premier League wins over this opposition, they are 13/10 (2.30) favourites with bet365 to bounce back with a fourth win in five trips to Goodison Park.

Marco Silva's men have taken seven points from their last three home games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, and can be backed at 9/4 (3.25) to pull off another impressive victory or 5/2 (3.50) to earn a draw.

Team news

Andre Gomes is suspended, Yerry Mina is injured and Morgan Schneiderlin a doubt, although Michael Keane could be set for a recall after returning to the bench at Fulham last weekend.

Antonio Valencia and Eric Bailly are both sidelined with injury, while Ander Herrera is also doubtful and Luke Shaw will miss out due to suspension.

Fragile defence

Although there is no shame in losing to Barcelona, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be concerned by the decline in his side’s performances in recent weeks – especially at the back.

Having conceded just nine goals in Solskjaer's first 14 fixtures in command, United have now let in 16 and failed to keep a single clean sheet in the subsequent 10.

Nevertheless, they are at least maintaining the attacking threat that has seen them score in all but one of their 17 league matches on the road this season, so should cause problems for a Toffees backline they have put eight goals past in the last three encounters.

Predictions

With goals looking likely at both ends of the pitch, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look like solid value on over 2.5 goals being scored for United’s ninth match in 11.
