Old Trafford is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as man United play hosts to Everton. With their local rivals looking to run away with it, another foot wrong could mean an end to the Mancunians' title hopes. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Both sides have clashed twice just this season, the first in the league while the other game was in the EFL Cup. With the Red Devils emerging victorious in both games, confidence is expected to be high as they head into this game.

Big winners last time out

Manchester United put nine without reply past Southampton as the Red Devils battered the saints in the midweek fixture. In a game in which we saw seven different scorers for the home side and the Saints seeing red twice, Manchester United equalled the Premier League record for a winning margin jointly held by themselves( vs Ipswich Town, 1995) and Leicester City. This was a much-needed victory for the Reds having secured one point from their two previous league games. Will they continue in this same vein this weekend?

European hopes still alive for the Toffees

Everton's hopes of making it to Europa for the first time since the 17/18 season is very much alive for the side from Merseyside. Everton currently sits in 6th place, with four points behind their local rivals Liverpool. However, the Toffees have two games in hand and will certainly leapfrog their opposite number if they manage six points from those two games- given their inferior goal difference. Ancelotti's troops did well to get past Leeds United in their most recent game. Two first-half goals from Sigurdsson and Calvert-Lewin were enough to hand them their first win in three league games.

Man United vs Everton Prediction: 2-1

Everton did well to get that much-needed victory away at Elland Road given their European qualification hopes. However, the Mancunians are a much bigger fish to fry and will be completely buzzing having scored lots of goals in their last game. We expect a tight affair this Saturday but still expect the Manchester-based side to get this victory.
