In a massive turn of events over the last few years, Everton come into this game ahead of Manchester United in the Premier League. Everton are undefeated in five Premier League games with four wins and a draw which came from James Tarkowski’s incredible last-moment equaliser in the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park.
After the defeat to Spurs, Man United have dropped to 15th in the league. Of their last nine league game, Man United have only won two and picked up one draw. United have failed to score in their last two matches in the league.
David Moyes welcomes Man United back to Goodison for the first time since he became Man United manager, replacing legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. At Man United, he had a 52.94% but didn’t even last a full season.
Everton are the first team that Ruben Amorim has played against twice, with the opening game against Everton ending 4-0 to Man United. This was also one of only two games since Amorim has been in charge that United scored more than two goals, the other being against Southampton.
