I may not get to see the game today, hey ho.

This is a game we should be winning. Mainoo is restored, we had a confidence building win last week creating a lot of chances, Everton had a horrible window and we need to go and dominate.

Our continuing issue is our away form, at home we have been very strong.

I am hoping Hull was a freak result and today will help us see where we are, everyone back, hopefully all fit and sharp now, I want to see energy and desire.

Predictions? I'm saying 3-1 to United.

1-1. Hope I'm wrong.

2-2

Everton away is always tough, no matter what they are going through. The crowd will be up for it, and Moyes will get them fighting.

United will create chances, but United's shaky back line will give up chances.

Shame you can't get to see the game, hope you have a letter of excuse, Tony!

This is the type of game that can be worrisome, I think Everton will be mega pumped simply because of what happened on the last day of the transfer window.

Also, because they are playing us! It always gets them going.

You mention Kobbie, interesting numbers here. Since the start of 25/26 season we have played 40 league games.

Results are as follows:

With Kobbie starting-----Without Kobbie starting

You could well say the figures speak for themselves!

Don't think it will be easy, but I do expect a win. Happily take a 1 goal margin.

I think Barry's speed could be an issue for us today against our CBs. I'm hoping last week was a blip from Shaw, but he's going to have a tough day if Johnson starts, as he's in the top ten fastest recorded speeds. I think, if we play well, 2-2.

Everton away is never easy, and Moyes will have them tough to break down. What we really need is an early goal. The longer that Everton can keep us out, the harder it will get for us to score.

Going forward, Everton have lost both Beto and Ndiaye late in the window and they weren't able to replace them properly.

The threats will come from Grealish, Johnson, Barry and Dewsbury-Hall. Johnson and Barry have pace in behind, and Grealish and Dewsbury-Hall are dangerous with their delivery from set-pieces, crosses and through balls.

For us, rather than trying to keep pace with Barry or Johnson, we might be better suited to looking to cut the ball in behind out at source. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if they can outpace us if the ball never gets through for them to chase.



It'll be a tough game, and we'll need to play with concentration and real attacking intent.

As with all our games this season, I am fairly confident that we will score, but less so that we will not concede.

Unless we have a mare, I don't see Everton scoring more than 1 or 2 goals at most, they are lacking strength and depth in the forward areas. So it'll come down to whether we can score 2 or 3 goals at least to take the win, and to score 3 or more goals against a David Moyes Everton side I would think we will likely need an early goal in the first 15 minutes or so to disrupt their game plan and force them to come out a little bit more and give us the space to punish them and get a couple more goals.

AJH,

Good post. Unfortunately, Everton have been a bit of a bogey team for Utd. They always seem to save a performance for a Utd Everton match.

Would I be surprised for Everton to win? No.

They will probably park the bus. It would help if we could score early, but even then, we're not renowned for our solid defense.

I don't think we've lost against Everton away for about 6 years.
