Everton’s tough run of fixtures continues this week with the Toffees hosting Manchester United.
This match brings a similar feeling to last week’s matchup against Arsenal — a traditional Premier League powerhouse, currently dangerous yet flawed. Everton’s sloppy play in front of both goals cost them a chance at points in that one, and makes this match all the more important.
Before we look ahead to our United predictions, let’s review the Arsenal match one last time.

Everton’s return to Goodison Park coincides with an increase in our optimism. Seven of our writers have the Toffees taking all three points, with another two picking a draw.
Richarlison is far and away the favorite in both the opening goalscorer and Everton MOTM categories.
