Man Utd to Continue Winning Streak

#1

Manchester United have gone from strength to strength while proving their credentials in the title race. They have been ruthless against the much less fancied opponents more often than not. This quality was on show once again earlier this week, as they trounced Southampton 9-0.

#2

Everton have been incredibly impressive in the ongoing season, and the fact that they could theoretically be as high as third and over Liverpool after they have played their games in hand signals towards a marked improvement under Carlo Ancelotti. The Toffees made an impression again this week with an admirable 2-1 win over Leeds United at Elland Road.

#3

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not have any fresh injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of the visit of Everton. On Saturday, the Manchester United manager will definitely be missing the services of just one first-team player, with Phil Jones sidelined with a knee injury.

#4

Like his counterpart in the Manchester United dugout, Carlo Ancelotti does not have any fresh roster issues to contend with ahead of his side’s latest fixture. On Saturday, the Everton manager will have to make do without three first-team players; Allan, Pickford and Gbamin.

#5

Expect Everton to breach David de Gea’s goal at least once. However, just like the reverse fixture, Manchester United should pull through, with Bruno Fernandes likely to shine after finally ending his mini-drought in the Premier League in the midweek game.
