Just when manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to have it under control at Old Trafford, the manager is experiencing results that show just how far Manchester United have come in pursuit of cutlery. After accumulating four games without losing in all competitions, Manchester United comes from consecutive defeats.
The Red Devils lost to Arsenal 1-0 at home last weekend in the league thanks to a second half Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty. Three days later, Manchester United suffered a surprise defeat by Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League 2-1. The result allowed RB Leipzig to stay two points behind the Red Devils in a now very close group.
Everton will lick their lips ahead of Saturday's game at Goodison Park. However, Carlo Ancelotti's team are quite out of shape. After winning the tie against Liverpool, by 2 to 2, at home, the Toffees have been suffering consecutive defeats in the championship. Already a free scorer, Everton scored just once in the last 180 minutes of football and conceded four goals.
Everton are undefeated for three consecutive games against Manchester United in the Premier League. Can the Toffees continue their unbeaten run against the Red Devils or will Manchester United win again?
Everton vs Manchester United betting odds
Everton have the second best home points total in the league. The Toffees took seven points from a possible nine at Goodison Park. His only flaw was the 2-2 draw against Liverpool. They were lucky to get an equaliser, as what would have been Liverpool's winning goal was mistakenly disallowed due to an offside call.
The team scored 11 goals at home and conceded five goals. Everton's recent lack of goals came on the road, so a return to Goodison Park could lead to touchdowns. Manchester United have been better on the road than they were at Old Trafford this season. They managed six points out of a possible six to start the campaign on the road. The Red Devils have a +4 goal difference away from home with seven goals scored and three allowed.
The teams' game at Goodison Park last season ended 1-1 with both goals scored in the first half. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in the third minute, but Bruno Fernandes equalized just after half an hour.
After Wednesday night's Champions League defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir, Solskjaer has increased the chances of a Premier League sack race. Major sportsbooks have Solskjaer at 6/5 to call. Manchester United's defense in Turkey is under scrutiny after the defeat. Calls are high for Solskjaer to step down, but the number of potential candidates to take over and improve results is small.
Everton vs Manchester United team news
Ancelotti could lose up to eight players. Defender Mason Holgate remains sidelined through injury, while the absent Jean-Philippe Gbamin is out. Seamus Coleman is also missing due to an injury.
One of Everton's biggest failures right now is Richarlison. His poor form started after his sending off against Liverpool. The Brazilian will only return after the international break. Lucas Digne, James Rodriguez, Andre Gomes and Ben Godfrey are also struggling to stay in shape. After starting the season in good form, Rodríguez has calmed down.
Five players complete Solkjaer's injured list at Old Trafford. Winger Alex Telles is currently ruled out after testing positive for COVID-19. Centers Phil Jones and Eric Bailly are also ruled out of the game due to their respective injuries.
Centre-back Victor Lindelof is doubtful with a lower back injury. Forward Jesse Lingard remains sidelined with injury. You could pass a late aptitude test to be included. Manchester United go into the weekend with three defeats. They are four points above the relegation zone, but they benefit from the poor performance of the teams below them at the moment. More dropped points could see them fight the drop if the teams below them start to rack up points.
