Michael Carrick will be looking to extend his unbeaten run in his second spell as interim manager of Manchester United to six matches, as he takes the Red Devils over to Merseyside to face an Everton side on the verge of the European places.
Everton are in solid league form, having lost only once in their last five matches, although they have won only twice in their last six league fixtures, with three draws. Everton haven't exactly transitioned well into their new stadium, as the home side rank 14th for home form this season, with four wins, four draws and five defeats from 13 matches. The Toffees are coming into this fixture with no wins in their last five home Premier League matches; however, in four of those games, Everton have found the scoresheet regardless of the result.
Manchester United have had a near-perfect start under Michael Carrick, with the former Manchester United captain picking up 13 points from a possible 15. Benjamin Sesko was on hand to maintain the Red Devils' unbeaten run under Michael Carrick, with a late equaliser away at West Ham United. Under Carrick, the Red Devils have scored two or more goals in all four of their victories; however, the away side still keeps conceding goals. Both teams have scored in seven of the last nine matches involving Manchester United.
We are backing a win for Manchester United here. Everton's struggles at home can't be ignored and with Carrick's men unbeaten during his tenure, a narrow win could be on the cards.
Everton 1-2 Manchester United.
