Everton vs. Manchester United: Jordan Pickford odds you should not ignore for Premier League clash

Everton welcome Manchester United to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the 2026-27 Premier League campaign, but the visitors will arrive with renewed confidence after recovering from their opening-day defeat to Hull City by thrashing Ipswich Town 5-2.

David Moyes' side opened the season with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace before being held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth, leaving the Toffees with four points from their opening two matches. 

United, meanwhile, responded to their 2-0 loss at Hull by producing an emphatic attacking display against Ipswich.

Given the Red Devils attacking display in their last game, Jordan Pickford has become an interesting player market to consider ahead of Sunday’s clash.

The Everton goalkeeper has already been called upon on several occasions this season, making eight saves across his opening two league appearances, including a superb stop during the draw at Bournemouth.

More importantly, Pickford has historically been busy when facing United.

Everton vs. Manchester United: Pickford has mostly been busy against the Red Devils

The England international has made 27 saves across his last eight Premier League appearances against Manchester United, an average of 3.38 saves per game. 

When extended to his 19 Premier League meetings with United, it is approximately 4.05 saves per match, underlining the potential for another busy afternoon between the posts.

With Manchester United averaging 8 shots on target per game across their opening two league matches, there should be opportunities for Pickford to add to his save total on Sunday.

Pickford 4+ saves market at 2.10 (11/10) is a solid pick when United's high shot volume is considered alongside the goalkeeper’s history in this fixture.

Everton vs. Manchester United: Red Devils favourites for win

Manchester United's recent record against Everton gives the visitors plenty of reason for optimism.

United have won six of their last eight Premier League meetings with Everton, with one draw and one defeat during that sequence. 

The most recent meeting also ended in United's favour, with Ruben Amorim's side securing a 1-0 victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium in February 2026. Everton had chances and registered four shots on target, but United's defence held firm before Benjamin Sesko's counter-attacking goal settled the contest.

At 2.10 (11/10), United to win therefore looks interesting, particularly given their dominant recent head-to-head record.

Everton vs. Manchester United: Clean sheet for the visitors?

The clean-sheet market offers an even bigger price, although it comes with a significant caveat, as United have yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League this season.

They conceded twice in the 2-0 defeat at Hull before allowing Ipswich to score twice at Old Trafford. That means backing a United shutout at 3.30 (23/10) requires faith that Carrick's defence can produce a significant improvement.

The case for it rests heavily on the recent head-to-head record, as United have kept Everton out in five of their last six Premier League victories over the Toffees.
