Everton Form and Match Preview
Everton have failed to win in their last six home matches — five in the league and the FA Cup defeat on penalties to Sunderland. They’re still in the hunt for a European place, though, and some of the teams around them lost this weekend, so they could move back up to eighth with a win tonight.
It has been a frustrating run at Goodison for Everton, particularly given that a European place remains a realistic target. Their home form has been the key issue — they are more expansive at Goodison than on the road, which has left them exposed defensively. They will need to tighten up significantly tonight against a United side that has found real momentum under Carrick, but a home match under their lights at the new stadium might spur the players on.
Manchester United Form and Match Preview
Manchester United are transformed under Michael Carrick, but they did need a last-minute equaliser away to West Ham last time out to preserve the interim manager’s unbeaten record. They had won their four matches before that and have the chance to go fourth if they avoid defeat tonight.
The turnaround under Carrick has been remarkable. United look organised, energetic and dangerous going forward, and the addition of Mbeumo to their attacking options has given them a real weapon on the flanks. Fourth place is within reach tonight, which gives this United side plenty to play for. They will be wary of Everton’s threat on the counter, but on current form, Carrick’s men are the team in better shape heading into this one.
Everton vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tip
Everton v Manchester United Betting Tips and Best Bets
- Casemiro to have 1+ shot on target
- Both teams to score
- Vitaly Mykolenko to be booked
Best Bet Builder Tip – Casemiro to Have 1+ Shot on Target
The Brazilian is a real threat from set-pieces and Everton are not great at defending them. Casemiro has had five shots on target in his last three matches and averages 0.49 per game over the season as a whole, but 1 a game since Carrick took charge.
That uptick in his shot count since Carrick took over is significant. Under the new manager, United are clearly encouraging their midfielders to arrive late into the box, and Casemiro has responded well. Against an Everton side that has been vulnerable at set-pieces at home this season, he is exactly the type of player to test the goalkeeper from a dead-ball situation. Given his recent numbers, this feels like one of the banker legs of the builder.
Both Teams to Score
Both teams have scored in Everton’s last five home matches. Their defensive record is much better on the road where they defend deep and play on the break. At home they are more expansive but get caught out defensively. Three of United’s last four matches have seen both teams score.
The combination of Everton’s open home style and United’s attacking intent under Carrick makes this a compelling selection. Everton will need to commit men forward to chase the win they badly need, which leaves gaps at the back. United, meanwhile, have shown they carry a genuine goal threat in every game under their interim manager. With both sides needing a result tonight for different reasons, goals at both ends feel likely.
Vitaly Mykolenko to Be Booked
Everton’s left back has made four fouls in his last two matches and will be up against United’s pacey wingers tonight. He gets caught up-field far too often and with the likes of Mbeumo and Amad running in behind him, he could be a good bet for a yellow card.
Mykolenko’s tendency to push forward and get caught out of position is well documented, and tonight he faces arguably his toughest test of the season. Mbeumo’s pace and directness will cause him problems all evening, and a midfielder who is already averaging two fouls per game in recent weeks is a prime candidate to give away a foul in a dangerous area and pick up a caution. At the odds available, this is a strong value addition to the builder.
Everton v Manchester United Predictions Summary
To summarise our Everton vs Manchester United betting tips and predictions for tonight’s Premier League Monday Night Football:
Our best bet is the 20/1 bet builder combining Casemiro to have 1+ shot on target, both teams to score, and Vitaly Mykolenko to be booked. Each selection has strong statistical backing and the match context supports all three landing together tonight.
For a slight tweak, you could look at swapping one of the card selections for United to win if you want to reduce the risk slightly, though the 20/1 price as it stands represents excellent value for a three-leg builder.
