Toffees Aiming to Extend Unbeaten Run
David Moyes has overseen a positive start to the Premier League season at Everton, as the Toffees have picked up four points from their opening two fixtures against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. Thierno Barry has started the season in excellent form, racking up four goals in his last three appearances. However, there will be pressure on the striker after Everton’s business on the final day of the transfer window.
The Toffees allowed Beto to depart, and then they failed to get a deal to sign Folarin Balogun over the line. Everton were able to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles, while Jack Grealish has rejoined the club on a season-long loan after Iliman Ndiaye was sold to Man City. Christian Norgaard is the only player missing this weekend due to injury.
Likely Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Pickford (GK); Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Hackney; Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall, Dibling; Barry
United Bounce Back to Form
Man United were well below the standard required in their opening day defeat against Hull City. However, Michael Carrick would have been delighted with the response from his players last weekend, as the Red Devils stormed to a 5-2 victory against Ipswich. Bruno Fernandes was the standout performer in the win, scoring a stunning hat-trick in a fine individual display.
Bryan Mbeumo also opened his account for the season, while Marcus Rashford looked sharp on his return to the starting eleven for United. Key players such as Benjamin Sesko and Matthijs de Ligt are back in first-team training, and both will likely be involved in the matchday squad on Sunday. However, Mason Mount remains unavailable due to injury, and there has been no clear timeline for his return.
Likely Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Lammens (GK); Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Mainoo, Tielemans; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford; Cunha
Head-to-Head Stats
- Everton have won one of their last ten head-to-head encounters against Man United.

Everton vs. Man United EPL Picks
Man United’s attacking players sparked into life last Sunday, and that could be a damaging factor for the Toffees this weekend, who are yet to keep a clean sheet in two EPL fixtures in 2026-27. United’s healthy head-to-head record against Everton is also damning for the hosts, meaning that the away victory looks like the standout selection to follow on Sunday.
