Last season Everton struggled to maintain their position in the elite championship, where they chalked up 11 wins and six peaceful outcomes over 38 rounds. Such a result can be taken as a reference line, while even some summer pinpoint gains did not bring results to the Merseysiders. Nevertheless, in the last rounds the representatives of Liverpool managed to please and ended up close to the equator of the standings. In eight matches of the new Premier League championship, the Toffees recorded two wins and four peaceful outcomes, which brought 10 points and 11th place in the standings. After a series of draws, Frank Lampard’s men took turns defeating West Ham (1:0) and Southampton (2:1). Mina, Holgate, Townsend, Patterson and Godfrey, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to take part in the duel today.
Last season Manchester United had a powerful group stage in the Champions League, where the team could not hold the onslaught of Atletico only at the playoff stage. The performances in the cup and the national championship were unsuccessful, which eventually led to the resignation of the coach, who was replaced by Erik ten Hag on July 1. The start in the group stage of the Europa League was successful for the visiting team. After the defeat in the debut, the team won two wins in a row over Sheriff (2:0) and Omonia (3:2), which in the end corresponds to six points and the second position. The performance in the Premier League can not be called successful, while ten Hag interrupted the losing streak. The team won four games in a row, after which they lost again last week to their fellow countrymen from City (3:6). Before this match, the Red Devils have 12 points and are sixth in the standings. Van de Beek, Martial, Dubravka, Williams, Maguire and Varane, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today. More impossible football prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
