Everton have gone from the bottom of the Premier League chance creation table to the top since David Moyes took over, and that has led to the Toffees moving above Saturday’s guests Manchester United into 14th position.

Everton vs Man Utd prediction: Another Everton win?
Key Stats
- Everton have won four of their last five outings in the Premier League.
- Man United lost their last two league games at home against Crystal Palace and away against Tottenham.
- Both teams have scored in just 36% of Everton’s league games this season.
- Only 40% of Manchester United’s outings in the Premier League have ended with both teams scoring.
Correct score prediction: Everton 1-0 Man Utd
We're expecting a close game between these two clubs but have backed the form favourites to claim all three points in Saturday's early kick-off. United have only conceded more than one goal in one of their last six matches across all competitions, and Everton have only failed to score in one of Moyes' six league games in charge of the club. However, the club will be without the services of top scorer Iliman Ndiaye.
Pre-game odds and win probability: The Toffees are the slight favourite
- HOME: 17/10 (2.70) – 37%
- DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
- AWAY: 39/20 (2.95) – 33.9%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Everton are the expected winner of this game with a probability of 37% and we tend to agree with the bookmakers on this selection.

Everton preview: Unbeaten in last five
Everton made it back-to-back away wins in the Premier League last weekend when they made the trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.
The Toffees, who are struggling with injuries right now, took the lead through Beto just minutes before the interval, but the Eagles got back onto level terms early in the second half. With ten minutes left on the clock, new Everton signing Carlos Alcaraz coolly slotted home from a blocked effort by Ashley Young to secure Moyes’ men all three points.
Abdoulaye Doucoure is available again following a brief suspension but Orel Mangala, Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja, Youssef Chermiti, Seamus Coleman, Nathan Patterson and Iliman Ndiaye are all still sidelined through injury.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Garner, Lindstrom, Alcaraz, Harrison & Beto

Man Utd preview: Back-to-back defeats
Manchester United travelled to the capital for a game against Tottenham last time out, where a solitary goal proved enough to decide the destination of all three points.
The hosts survived an early flurry of chances that came United’s way and then took the lead in the 13th minute when James Maddison tucked in a rebound from close range. Both teams had chances to score after that but the scoreline finished 1-0, much to the delight of the home fans.
Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Altay Bayindir, Tobias Collyer and Jonny Evans look set to miss the short trip to Goodison Park this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Onana (GK), Maguire, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Dalot, Dorgu, Casemiro, Fernandes, Zirkzee, Garnacho & Hojlund

Player to watch: Beto
Everton striker Beto has been transformed under the guidance of Moyes and we have selected the 27-year-old as our player to watch in Saturday’s early kick-off.
The former Udinese man has found life hard since joining the Toffees, scoring just three times in 30 appearances last season, though, 21 of those were from the bench.
Will Beto extend his scoring run?
The 2024/25 campaign didn’t start out much better for Beto and the striker came close to leaving the club in January due to a lack of minutes on the pitch. However, Moyes has given Beto a run in the team and is playing to the striker’s strengths which has led to the Guinea-Bissau international scoring four goals in his last three outings in the Premier League.
