Preview

Match preview

Everton welcome Manchester United to Goodison Park in the third round of the Premier League season sitting in seventh position with four points. The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign, securing a 2-0 home victory against Crystal Palace before picking up a 1-1 draw on the road at Bournemouth.

Manchester United arrive in tenth place having split their opening two league fixtures. After suffering a 2-0 away defeat against Hull City, they rebounded with a high-scoring 5-2 home win over Ipswich. Bruno Fernandes has been their primary attacking contributor early on, recording three goals and one assist.

The visitors enter this clash dealing with significant fitness issues, with several players including M. de Ligt, M. Mount, M. Ugarte, C. Baleba, A. Diallo, and T. Heaton unavailable. With Everton showing early defensive solidity having conceded just one goal across two league matches, the hosts will aim to take advantage of United's depleted lineup and recent away difficulties.

Confidence

Everton have made an undefeated start to the league season with a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace and a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, allowing just one goal across two fixtures. Manchester United struggled on their sole away trip of the campaign, losing 2-0 against Hull City, and must navigate a substantial injury list featuring M. de Ligt, M. Mount, M. Ugarte, C. Baleba, A. Diallo, and T. Heaton. Everton's defensive resilience and home form make them well placed to secure at least a draw.
