Everton vs Manchester United – English Premier League Betting Preview, Monday 23rd February
We look at the standalone English Premier League fixture taking place on Monday the 23rd of February between Everton and Manchester United and we offer up a few betting angles before settling on a bet.
EVERTON vs MANCHESTER UNITED
Everton sit 9th on the table with 37 points and continue to show steady improvement as the season progresses. They come into this clash off a narrow 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth but had previously put together an encouraging run, including a 2-1 away win over Fulham and a disciplined 1-0 victory away to Aston Villa.
The side have scored 29 goals and conceded 30, underlining their balanced but unspectacular profile. They have been competitive in most matches and tend to keep things tight, particularly against stronger opposition.
Manchester United occupy 5th position with 45 points from 26 matches and remain firmly in the hunt for Champions League participation. Their recent form has been strong, highlighted by 2-0 victories over Tottenham and Manchester City, before being held to a 1-1 draw away at West Ham in their latest clash.
United have netted 47 goals while letting 37 in at the back, demonstrating their attacking quality but also a vulnerability at the back on occasions. Nevertheless, their confidence will be high after a series of statement results against top teams.
Head-to-Head
In the reverse league meeting earlier this season, Everton claimed a surprise 1-0 win away at Old Trafford. Last season’s corresponding fixture at Goodison Park ended 2-2, while Manchester United ran out convincing 4-0 winners in the earlier clash at Old Trafford.

Verdict
Everton are typically well organised at home and will take confidence from their earlier win over United this season, but the visitors arrive in stronger overall form and with greater attacking momentum. While Everton are capable of making this competitive, Manchester United’s firepower and recent big-match pedigree suggest they can edge this encounter.
I am expecting a closely contested affair with United’s quality proving decisive.
Here are some betting angles I am considering on the game
