Within the 31st round of the EPL, Manchester United will host at their home ground Everton from Liverpool. Both teams approach the upcoming game in a condition far from best, as Man Utd couldn’t beat West Bromwich at their home ground last weekend, while the Toffees have once again lost the Merseyside derby to Liverpool and deteriorated their tournament position.
Man Utd had a 0:0 draw with West Bromwich, having advantage during the course of a match, made 18 attempts, but did not manage to score a goal. Man Utd are on the fifth position in the EPL tournament table, the team has 53 points in the asset and a four-point gap to Manchester City. Man Utd have had 15 domestic matches in the EPL, in which they got only six victories.
Everton, in their turn, are a very distinctive, domestic team. If at their native Goodison the Toffees have gained 34 points, then in away matches the Blues have only gained sixteen. Within the last five matches, Everton won thrice. The victories happened over Sunderland, West Bromwich and Hull City. But the Toffees lost to Tottenham and Liverpool. Both lost matches were held away. Everton are on the seventh position in the tournament table and the team has 50 points in the asset.
Manchester United desperately need a victory over Everton in the upcoming game, but without a number of footballers, such as Pogba and Mata, it will be very hard to get it. Besides, Everton themselves, despite a weak away statistics are pretty strong, have high motivation and has not lost chances to get into the UCL zone, so they will fight hard against the devils.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with +1.5 Asian handicap.
