Manchester United vs Everton
English Premier League
Date: Tuesday, 4th April 2017
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.
The draw against West Brom is particularly disappointing for Manchester United as this adversely their top four finishing chances. Sitting at 5th in the Premier League table, there is are 5 points behind Manchester City on fourth. Meanwhile their Tuesday’s opponent Everton are 7th with a 2-point gap.
Manchester United’s last 13 home matches involves 8 draws with wins in the remaining 5. If you look at the last five at the Old Trafford, there is only 1 win. Expect a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, the ones against Hull, Bournemouth and West Brom were all winnable.
Everton will be disappointed after falling to a 3-1 loss in the Liverpool derby at Anfield. But it is important for them to get over this as they were undone by nothing but some individual brilliance from Sadio Mane and Coutinho.
The Toffees have now lost back-to-back away games, before Liverpool it was at Tottenham. They are also win-less in the last four away games.
Manchester United vs Everton: Head-to-head
The reverse leg of the current campaign was a 1-1 draw. It was a late penalty from Leighton Baines that cancelled out Ibrahimovic’s goal. Manchester United won in the three previous meetings against the Toffees.
At the Old Trafford, the only Everton win since 1999 happened two seasons ago in 2013. While United won in 14 of the 19 along with 5 draws.
Manchester United vs Everton: Prediction
This could be a cagey one with Manchester United going through a tough phase with a higher number of draws at home. Everton are coming on the back of a tough fixture against city rivals Liverpool. But just like most of the recent visitors to Old Trafford, they will also back themselves to take something out of the match.
I do not see Everton winning this by any means, but there is also little chance for an outright United win. A draw will be the most probable outcome from this fixture.
