In terms of the current loss points in the current 2020/21 season, the duel between Manchester United and Everton on Saturday evening is the absolute top game on PL day 23 – although the gigantic duel between Manchester City and Liverpool is on the program the next day.
The Red Devils are currently the first pursuers of city rivals Manchester City. The Toffees are only in sixth place in the current Premier League table, but they still have two catch-up games up their sleeves and could thus move up to two points on the Red Devils.
Although both teams are bursting with confidence from their recent performances, the best bookmakers have a clear favourite. In the top game, Manchester United against Everton, betting odds of around 1.50 is offered for the home win. A successful bet on the toffees brings you almost seven times the stake.
The first top game of this weekend in the motherland of football will kick off on Saturday evening. In our Premier League tip category, our authors provide further previews and betting recommendations for the current match day. Of course also for the duel “Guardiola vs. Klopp” on Sunday.
Manchester United – Statistics & Current Form
The elimination in the premier class was a bitter disappointment and some experts saw the days of head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United already numbered. In contrast to the international appearances, Manchester United was largely able to convince in the domestic championship with strong performances and good results.
100th Premier League game for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
44 points after 22 match days, for example, mean an impressive ten points more than last year. In the recent past (compared to the last seven years) Manchester United only had one more point (2017/18) at this point in the season.
Due to the increasing form, nobody is thinking about a possible change of coach anymore. This means that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be able to take his seat as head coach in the English Premier League for the 100th time on Saturday evening. The Norwegian is the 70th coach to look back on this brand. Interesting detail: three coaches have played the 100th PL game against Everton so far, but none of them has won (Dave Bassett 1998, Roberto Martinez 2012 and Paul Lambert 2014).
Home strength is a thing of the past
For many years a guest appearance at the Old Trafford Stadium could be equated with an unpopular dentist appointment. The Theater of Dreams had a certain aura and only rarely could Manchester United be beaten in their own stadium.
This home strength has been lost for a few years, but at the beginning of the current season, the Solskjaer team was inferior at home. Manchester United suffered all four defeats of the season in their own stadium. The home record is ultimately mainly responsible for the fact that the Red Devils are currently only hunters instead of the hunted.
Manchester United celebrated a spectacular 9-0 win against Southampton on Wednesday evening. Due to a red card for the Saints after 90 seconds, the game ran like a slope and the Red Devils had a “best shooting” on the program. The nine direct hits were good evidence of the team’s hunger for goals, but this performance should not be overrated due to the majority.
The favourite role is absolutely fine, but the often poor performances at home should not go unmentioned. Accordingly, there is a certain risk at Manchester United against Everton in predicting the home win.
The probable lineup of Manchester United:
de Gea – Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka – McTominay, Fred – Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Martial – Cavani

Everton – Statistics & Current Form
Start coach Carlo Ancelotti’s Toffees have a catch-up game against Manchester City and one against Aston Villa up their sleeves. In the ideal case, the team from Liverpool could come to 42 points and would, among other things, overtake their big-city rivals.
Third place in the guest table
After Everton moved several million euros over many years and often fell short of expectations despite major new signings, Carlo Ancelotti finally brings the desired success to Merseyside. Toffees 2020/21 are particularly strong when they are abroad.
Everton has won seven of the ten guest appearances so far and has already won more victories abroad than in the past few years. Everton last won eight away wins in a single season in the 2013/14 season. Toffees could stop this mark on Saturday evening.
Pickford is still missing
Everton has won the last four away games. If the forecast for the guests at Manchester United against Everton is crowned with success, Everton would win five league away games in a row for the first time since 1970 (!). The betting base odds comparison delivers odds of up to 6.70 for the Toffees at Manchester United against Everton.
In all likelihood, the Toffees will have to do without regular goalkeeper Jordan Pickford again. After this became public on Wednesday before the game against Leeds United (2-1 away win), a number of Toffees fans were delighted with the failure. Pickford is – not entirely understandable – harshly criticized. The Swedish veteran Robin Olsen will guard the gate again in the event of a failure.
The probable lineup of Everton:
Pickford / Olsen – Digne, Godfrey, Mina, Holgate – Doucoure, Gomes – Richarlison, Sigurdsson, James Rodriguez – Calvert-Lewin
Last matches from Everton:

Manchester United vs Everton – Direct comparison / H2H balance
With the Toffees, a favourite opponent is visiting Manchester United’s, Old Trafford. The team from Merseyside was only able to win one of the last 27 guest performances by Toffees in the “Theater of Dreams” (2014/15 season). In contrast, there are no fewer than 20 home wins by the Red Devils and six draws.
But also in general, the direct comparison speaks clearly for the home side, who have won six of the last eleven games against Everton (four draws, one defeat).

Manchester United vs Everton Betting Predictions and Odds by PicksSoccer Experts
With the 9-0 win, Manchester United improved their goal difference significantly, but the Solskjaer team needed another similar win on Saturday evening to take the lead. The form strong toffees will be a tough hurdle, however, and value is not to be found at Manchester United against Everton in the prediction of the home win due to lower odds.
Key facts – Manchester United vs Everton tips
- Anniversary for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 100th Premier League game as coach
- Everton has won just one of the last 27 guest appearances at Old Trafford
- Everton have won all of their last four away games
Should Everton actually celebrate an away win on Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti would rise to an elite circle. He would only be the second coach to have won an away game at Old Trafford with three different teams, something that only Jose Mourinho has achieved so far.
Despite a strong away record, the bet on Everton’s victory is a little risky, but the tip on the double chance X2 at Manchester United against Everton is quite interesting. Wednesday’s 9: 0 must not be overrated, the Red Devils continue to have problems at home and accordingly betting odds of over 2.60 for the X2 definitely have value to offer.
