Prediction
Everton are a team that has improved as the early campaign has gone on and now look like a threat to any side that visits Goodison Park.
United’s full backs will have another tough task on Saturday afternoon with Gerard Deulofeu and Steven Naismith both in form for the Toffies. Both Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind were run ragged in their last club fixture against Arsenal, and there will be key battles in wide areas again this week.
It wasn’t so long ago that the Red Devils topped the table and this game looks fairly balanced, but home advantage might just tip the odds in Everton’s favour.
