Contributor’s Pick

According to Everton vs Manchester United H2H Stats, the last five matches in all competitions between these two clubs resulted in three wins for Manchester United and two draws. In fact, Everton have not defeated Manchester United in any of their previous seven matches.

While Everton are undefeated in their last five home games in the Premier League, Manchester United have netted at least twice in their previous four away games in the league.

A win tonight could help Manchester United pip Chelsea to the second position, with the defending champions having a difficult away game to Arsenal later this week. It should be a closely contested affair but a 1-0 win for Manchester United is the most probable outcome tonight.
