Everton vs Manchester United – English Premier League – Preview

Posted on December 4, 2016 by Sreya

Everton vs Manchester United – Manchester United travel to Goodison Park on 4th December, Sunday to face Everton in a tough away fixture of the English Premier League.

Manchester United had a difficult outing during their last league match, when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by West Ham in an ill-mannered game in which Jose Mourinho was sent off and the duo of Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini picked up their fifth yellow cards of the season.

Although Manchester United won in a comprehensive fashion over West Ham in the League Cup in midweek, questions have been raised about Manchester United’s lack of consistency.

Manchester United are seventh in league standings with twenty points, having won only one of their previous six league matches. Everton, who have won only one of their last six English Premier League match as well, are on the eighth position with nineteen points.

The Toffees lost their last league game to Southampton by 1-0, a disappointing result which was preceded by a 5-0 marauding at the hands of Chelsea and an equally demoralizing 1-1 draw against the struggling Swansea City.
