PREMIER LEAGUE SUNDAY: We preview Sunday’s Premier League games between EVERTON v MANCHESTER UNITED and TOTTENHAM v WOLVES both with a recommended BETDAQ bet and extended match stats.
EVERTON V MANCHESTER UNITED
2pm The Carabao Cup Final will take centre stage later today but we have two excellent Premier League fixtures to start our Sunday afternoon! Manchester United battered Club Brugge at Old Trafford on Thursday night and they come into this fixture having score eight goals in two games without conceding. Everton have been impressive under Carlo Ancelotti though and will no doubt make this a tough afternoon for United. This should be a good game to watch.
The match odds at the time of writing currently trade; Everton 2.64, Manchester United 2.96 and the draw is 3.4. Goodison is always a tough place to go and win, but it’s a sign of the times to see United at 2.96. In fairness, Everton have won four of the last seven Premier League meetings between the sides here, but under Ferguson United’s record was very different! We expect a very tight game here, especially with United improving at the back. Under 2.5 goals is a tempting bet at 1.85, however we’re going to back the draw at 3.4 which looks good value. Everton have been very solid lately, but United are improving and the draw is a good bet.

MATCH STATS
- Everton have won four of their last seven home Premier League games against Man Utd, including a 4-0 victory last season (D1 L2). The Toffees had only won three of their first 20 against them at Goodison Park in the competition (D3 L14).
- Manchester United are winless in their last two league games against Everton (D1 L1), last going longer without a victory against them between October 1988 and March 1990 (four games).
- Manchester United have won just one of their last 13 Premier League games played on the first day of a month (D8 L4), though that victory did come at Everton, on New Year’s Day 2018 (2-0).
- Since losing 0-2 against Norwich in Marco Silva’s last home game in charge, Everton are unbeaten in six Premier League matches at Goodison Park (W4 D2).
- Manchester United have won their last two Premier League games by an aggregate score of 5-0. They last won three in a row without conceding in January 2018.
- Everton have scored in their last nine Premier League games (all under Carlo Ancelotti) – only Liverpool (36) are on a longer current run. However, Manchester United have kept three consecutive Premier League clean sheets, as many as they had in their previous 23.
- Everton’s Gylfi Sigurdsson has been directly involved in nine goals in his last nine Premier League games against Manchester United (5 goals, 4 assists).
- In all competitions, Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has lost each of his last three meetings with Manchester United – as many as he’d lost in his first 11 against the Red Devils (W6 D2 L3).
- Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored 12 Premier League goals this season – the last English player to score more in a single campaign for the club was Paul Rideout in 1994-95 (14).
- Since his debut for the club, Bruno Fernandes has had more shots (10), provided more assists (2) and created more chances (7) than any other Manchester United player in the Premier League.
TOTTENHAM V WOLVES
2pm Wolves suffered a late defeat in the Europa League on Thursday night, however they had basically got through after winning the first leg 4-0 – all they had to do was not throw it away. Spurs are in a difficult position in the Champions League after losing their home fixture, and they have to keep the pressure on in the race for a top four finish. They can’t afford to lose games like this, and you can see the cracks starting to appear in Mourinho with the injury list. We’ve all been here before!
The match odds at the time of writing currently trade; Tottenham 2.5, Wolves 3.3 and the draw is 3.3. The main problem for Spurs has been their away form, as they have been more solid at home. Mourinho has done an excellent job since taking charge of Spurs, and although he’s suffering with a long injury list, he’s still collecting points. Wolves have been excellent lately though, they’ve drawn with United away from home and only lost by one goal to Liverpool. They’ve beaten the sides they should have too. Much like Everton v Manchester United, we can only see a very close game here and we like the draw again at 3.3.
