Why Manchester United will win
Marcus Rashford is on a scoring tear for the Red Devils. The 25-year-old forward has scored in six straight games at home, which is the longest home scoring streak by any United player since Wayne Rooney (2012). Rashford’s 12 goals across all competitions this season are more than twice more than any other player on the roster.
In addition, Manager Erik ten Hag’s men face an Everton side that has struggled to score goals this season. The Blues have scored just 14 goals in Premier League play; just two teams have scored fewer. Everton is coming off a poor 4-1 defeat against Brighton in which the home fans booed the Blues off the field.
Why Everton will win
The Toffees have one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Jordan Pickford. The 28-year-old ranks second in the EPL in saves (68) and punches (11). In the recent World Cup, he started in goal for England and finished the tournament tied for the lead in clean sheets (three).
In addition, Everton have a versatile midfielder in Alex Iwobi. The 26-year-old Iwobi is tied for fourth in the EPL in assists with five. That is the most he’s had in a season since 2017-18 when he played for Arsenal and had five assists in 22 games.
