Btay Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Get the ball rolling on this one as there’s a little bit of a feel good factor to us at the moment. Picked up a good point against spurs & a chance to be undefeated in 5 games here. Doucs out obviously. No need to change too much with Garner coming in to the midfield 3. United having a very short turn around should be a benefit for us but I honestly can’t remember us every taking that advantage. Still a good chance to take something from this one. I’m expecting an organised defensive display and hopefully we show a bit more at the attacking end. Have a great Easter everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Everton have scored in each of their past nine Premier League games against Manchester United. They have never scored in 10 consecutive league games against the Red Devils, while it's also Man Utd's longest current run without a clean sheet against a Premier League opponent. After failing to win six consecutive Premier League games in the Saturday 12.30 kick-off slot last season (D2 L4), Manchester United have won all three such games so far this term, most recently beating Manchester City 2-1 in January. Everton have won just two of their past 31 Premier League away games (D9 L20), picking up 2-1 wins at Leicester (May 2022) and Southampton (October 2022). The Toffees have also kept just two clean sheets in this run, goalless draws against Watford (May 2022) and Fulham (October 2022). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsta Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 would like to see Grey moved to the right wing, Iwobi in the Doucs role, and Sims up top, to early for Garner to play a full game just back from injury, IMO Plus i think we get the best from Iwobi in that position.

Hafnia Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 We need to work United hard, they should be feeling leggy and hopefully an early kick off works against the old Trafford crowd and our awesome away support carries the lads to a result. I just ran the predictor and had Southampton, Leicester and forest as bottom 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 No idea how this one goes. United were on a roll not that long ago, beat us twice in short succession pretty easily and were talking about title challengers. Whilst they won the league cup, their form since has been poor. They have missed Casemiro, but Eriksen and Martial are back in the squad now and that immediately makes them loads better, and more potent. Aside from how we replace Doucs, I don't see us changing a lot. We will certainly make them work hard for it if they do win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's ready to start against this sort of opposition, but maybe the fact he's now featured from the bench before this game and looked good will mean he's not coming in cold this time.

If he is starting we need to get the ball to him in a better way than his last start, he was isolated most of the time, and once again he will be up against experienced CF’s.

Bailey Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 The United starting 11 is about as easy as it can get from the players they have. Two of their best players are out of their best position too. Got to have a go at them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I like the look of that with a big strong man up front and Iwobi back in the middle. United’s line up doesn’t look as good as it could be we have a good chance of getting something out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I think United are going to struggle with dead ball situations delivered in their box we will dominate in the air, it’s like they haven’t done their homework on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His head is a ball magnet, he will go for headers, the small fella will do the stuff on deck. Bit like tarks and Keane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
