Man Utd v Everton

Manchester United vs Everton Preview

Ruben Amorim's managerial career at Manchester United started with a point gained on the road away from home at Premier League strugglers, Ipswich Town, in a 1-1 draw at Portman Road which lifted United up into 12th place in the table.

Everton were also involved in yet another stalemate last Saturday when The Toffees drew 0-0 at home with Brentford which became a fifth draw in eight games for the merseyside club.

Manchester United bring a stubborn looking three-match unbeaten run into Sunday lunchtime's clash at Old Trafford which consists of draws with Chelsea and Ipswich Town that were either side of a resounding 3-0 victory over Leicester City at home.

Results overall so far this season have been very inconsistent from the hosts as they have won, drawn and lost in equal measure as the Red Devils have collected four wins, been involved in four draws but have also slipped to four defeats as well.

However, Manchester United have won two of their last three games on home soil at Old Trafford with wins against Brentford and Leicester City respectively, and the hosts will therefore fancy their chances against Everton here on Sunday.

Everton picked up another useful point in a 0-0 stalemate with Brentford last weekend as The Toffees continue to avoid being dragged down into the bottom three places of the Premier League table and recent results show Sean Dyche's men have suffered just the one loss in their previous eight games overall.

Within this eight-game period Everton have also picked up important wins against Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town respectively, but it should be noted that these two victories have been Everton's only real highlights in their last 13 matches overall in the Premier League.

Having slipped to six defeats within these previous 13 games, four of which have been dealt out to the merseyside club on their travels with losses at Arsenal, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Southampton.

Indeed, results away from home in the English top flight have certainly been Everton's achilles heel as the visitors have managed to muster just the one win from their last 17 away games whilst also being dealt no fewer than 10 defeats in the process which places Sean Dyche's side in potentially treacherous water on Sunday lunchtime.

In addition, Everton have managed to keep just three clean sheets within these previous 17 away games and as Manchester United have scored in each of their last five matches in the English top flight, this upcoming trip to Old Trafford looks like being another tough assignment for The Toffees.
