Manchester United’s Desire for Revenge
The last meeting between these two teams saw Manchester United experience one of their most significant humiliations this season. United faced Everton at home, where Idrissa Gueye received a red card in the 13th minute, leaving Everton with ten men. Despite having an extra player for 85 minutes, United not only lost but also failed to score, ending in a 1-0 defeat. This performance was a major talking point in the media, and I expect it remains fresh in their minds going into this match.
Although United recently had a draw against West Ham, their performance since the start of the year has been impressive, and they are expected to push against an Everton side struggling without their best attacker and a critical defender.
Everton’s Defensive Struggles in 2026
Everton has shown notable improvement this season, finishing 15th two years ago, 13th last year, and currently sitting safely at eighth in the EPL standings. Despite this progress, their defensive record in the new year raises concerns as they prepare to face a formidable United side.
In eight matches this year, they have achieved only one clean sheet, conceding 11 goals across those games. In this matchup, they will miss senior defender Jake O’Brien, who was sent off in their last match against Bournemouth, putting more pressure on Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski to hold their defense together. While Everton’s attackers like Dewsbury-Hall and Illiman Ndiaye are in good form, it’s likely their defense will concede.
