Manchester United vs Everton – English Premier League – Preview

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Sreya

Manchester United vs Everton – Manchester United host Everton at the Old Trafford on 4th April, Tuesday in a midweek English Premier League fixture.

Manchester United are still chasing a spot in the ‘top four’ although winning the Europa League seem to be an easier way for Jose Mourinho’s side to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Red Devils are coming off an insipid goalless draw with West Bromwich Albion in the weekend, which made it three draws in their last six games.

Everton were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool this past Saturday and are now seventh in the league standings with fifty points. Manchester United are on fifty three points and fifth in the standings.
