Manchester United - Everton Prediction and Analysis
As the long-standing tradition dictates in England, the first weekend of the new year is set aside for the FA Cup tournament.
Premier League teams are directly involved in the 3rd round.
The action in it begins on Friday evening, when two elite teams meet - Manchester United and Everton.
The match will be played at Old Trafford.
The hosts will be hoping to go further than last season when they were knocked out in the fourth round.
While the visitors reached the quarter-finals.
Red Devils fans have every reason to expect success for their favorites today.
Considering the top form they are in recently - 6 consecutive wins for Man Yun in all competitions .
Erik ten Haag is likely to be without the injured Donnie van de Beek and Axel Tuanzebe again.
Jaden Sancho has returned to training and can be included from the bench if required.
Everton continue without injured duo Michael Keane and James Garner.
There are doubts over Anthony Gordon, Andros Townsend and Nathan Patterson.
This further complicates the already difficult task before Frank Lampard.
Given that Manchester United also recorded 7 consecutive home wins , I can't help but bet on them.
In addition, I will say that in 4 of them there were 3+ goals.
Against the background of poor defensive performance of Everton , this match is going comfortably to "1 and over 2.5 goals".
