Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Manchester United play host to Everton at Old Trafford on day 13 of the new Premier League campaign. The Red Devils are eager to record their first league under new boss Ruben Amorim and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Toffees. Uruguay rising star Manuel Ugarte is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while centre-back Harry Maguire remains in the recovery room. Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund should be recalled to the starting XI as well.
Everton, on the other hand, are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet, but preventing Manchester United strikers from finding the net at Old Trafford is easier said than done. In their last meeting at “the Theatre of Dreams” Manchester United defeated Everton 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of James Garner, Seamus Coleman, Tim Iroegbunam, Armando Broja, and Youssef Chermiti remain on the sidelines with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Rashford):
Marcus Rashford is one of the most talented English footballers. Rashford was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on October 31, 1997 and he began his youth career at Fletcher Moss Rangers. Manchester United scouts spotted him in 2005 when he joined the famous Premier League club.
The pacey footballer, who is capable of playing as both winger and striker, marked his Manchester United first-team debut with two goals in a 5-1 crushing of Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Marcus Rashford scored seven goals in 35 appearances for the Red Devils in the 2017/2018 Premier League season. Speaking of his international debut, the Manchester United attacker played his first match for England against Australia on May 27, 2016 and he did well to find the net in a 2-1 win over the Socceroos.
After producing fine displays with Manchester United in the 2017/2018 season, Marcus Rashford was named in the 23-man England national team squad that will take part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Highlighted Team (Everton):
Everton are one of the two Merseyside giants that were formed back in 1878, with the club holding a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool. Everton have participated in the English top flight for a record 113 seasons, with the team competing in the English second tier in just four campaigns.
The Toffees play their home matches at Goodison Park, the stadium that was opened in 1892. Everton have won the national championship nine times, with the team winning their last domestic trophy back in 1987.
The Toffees have clinched five FA Cup trophies as well and it has to be noted that a victory over Manchester United in the 1994/1995 FA Cup final helped the team win their last title in the prestigious competition. Everton and Liverpool face each other in the Merseyside derby and the clash between the two local rivals has been called the Merseyside derby since 1955.
In the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign Everton were hammered by Liverpool (0-4) at Anfield.
