On Sunday, at 16:00, Manchester United receives Everton’s visit, in a match where we expect to see a good rhythm and numerous occasions. Everton is on the rise and is over United on the table, and the hosts have important medical issues.
Hosts will not be able to play Rojo, Dalot, Fellaini, Lingard, Sanchez and Valencia, the Chilean being a last-minute absence. So, the selection area of Jose Mourinho is limited, and Everton knows what to expect from the “devils”. It will be an interesting tactical duel between the two Portuguese managers, Jose Mourinho and Mario Silva, both of whom have different styles of play.
If Mourinho is more concerned about defensive organization and land coverage, Silva is practicing a good eyeball at Everton, with speeding attacks and a well-engineered construction. The guests come without bothering the lot and have negotiated excellently the difficult time caused by unavailability, having only two failures this season of the Premier League. Manchester United is ranked 10th in the league (15-16 goals) and comes after a home ball failure in the Champions League, 0-1 with Juventus.
Everton is in shape and comes after 3 consecutive wins.
Even if the evolution of “devils” was not bad, we can say that such a result is not a good training before the duel in the championship. Everton is on 9th place (15-12) and comes after three consecutive wins with Crystal Palace (2-0), Leicester (2-1) and Fulham (3-0). Everton’s construction game has become more homogeneous lately, and “caramelles” open a lot of play on the flanks, to the side fenders. The key to our Sunday bet is the corner kick statistics, where online agencies are generous.
We can bet on a good odds as Everton will get at least 4 corners on Old Trafford, and the last games have shown us that United is vulnerable to the defensive. Several inspired attacks by Bernard, Richarlison, Sigurdsson or Lennon can deliver our profit! Three of the last 5 straight games ended in a tie and we re-enter a balanced game. We will not bet on the final result, though United is unbeaten home in 20 of the last 21 duels with Everton.
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
Manchester United: De Gea – Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw – Matic, Pogba – Rashford, Mata, Martial – Lukaku
Everton: Pickford – Coleman, M. Keane, Zouma, Digne – Gueye, A. Gomes – Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard – Richarlison
PREDICTION: Manchester United to win @ 1.74
