Everton vs Manchester United Odds
United are a slim +118 moneyline favorite at soccer betting sites. The Toffees are priced at +229, while a draw sits at +260 odds.
The Red Devils have enjoyed themselves in this matchup in recent memory. They’ve won seven of the last nine meetings dating back to 2022, with just one defeat during that span.
Everton vs Manchester United Analysis
The Toffees may have just had the Folarin Balogun deal fall through due to medical concerns, but there’s still early optimism for this club. Everton is unbeaten through two games, beating Crystal Palace by two goals on matchday one before settling for a point last weekend against the Cherries. Alex Scott put the hosts ahead just before halftime at the Vitality Stadium, but James Tarkowski saved the day at the death, bagging the equalizer in the 92nd minute.
Frankly, it wasn’t the Toffees’ best day in the final third. They notched seven shots on target, but the breakthrough didn’t come until very late. This clash with United will not be easy as Everton has struggled to produce results against them in recent memory. Still, the Red Devils’ early vulnerability at the back is a promising sign that the hosts can secure a point, or possibly three, on Sunday.
Man United’s campaign began in the worst possible way, with newly promoted Hull City pulling off the ultimate upset. However, Michael Carrick’s side responded with a clinical attacking display at Old Trafford on August 30, putting five past newcomers Ipswich Town. Bruno Fernandes, who was the main factor in the Red Devils returning to Champions League football, was the star of the show. The Portuguese international scored a hat-trick for the hosts.
An own goal gifted United their third, while Bryan Mbuemo’s composed finish in the 82nd minute made it five for United. The frontline has found its footing, and they'll look to keep it rolling. In the Red Devils’ last three visits to Merseyside, they’ve outscored Everton 6-2.
Everton vs Manchester United Injury News
Everton enter Sunday’s clash relatively healthy, although Christian Norgaard remains sidelined and Hayden Hackney is considered a doubt after suffering an ankle issue.
Manchester United have more concerns, with Amad Diallo, Carlos Baleba, Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt all expected to miss the trip to Merseyside. Mason Mount could return, however, after resuming full-team training following the foot problem that kept him out against Ipswich Town.
Everton vs Manchester United Picks
I’ve been impressed with Everton, but United’s attacking threats looked very dangerous on matchday two, and the visitors have run riot on the Toffees over the last four years. I’ll take the Red Devils at plus money.
Pick: Manchester United +118/TonyBet
