Live in-play betting – 

Manchester United’s season began with a run of two consecutive 4-0 wins and they looked unstoppable at that point but their league results have taken a nosedive since then as they won their third game by 2-0 and drew the last time 2-2 at Stoke City.

They did bounce back with a 3-0 win over Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday and they will be looking to build on that when they take on a struggling Everton in this game.

They were criticized for their dull approach last season but Jose Mourinho has managed to add some flair to their play this season as they have scored 16 goals in 6 competitive matches this season.

With Romelu Lukaku in top form he could be United’s weapon to punish his former team in this game.

Everton’s season is beginning to fall apart and Ronald Koeman is looking like he could be the next Premier League manager to get the sack.

The Toffees suffered a 3-0 loss at Atalanta on Thursday which was their second consecutive 3-0 loss after losing to Tottenham by the same score line over the weekend.

They are now without a victory in their last 5 matches and this is unacceptable for a team that spent almost 150 million in this summer’s transfer window.

They look completely devoid of ideas and that means this fixture is coming at a very wrong time.

Everton has lost 18 of their last 24 matches at Old Trafford and they have suffered the highest defeat to a Premier League rival at the hands of Manchester United and that figures stands at 33.

They have also lost 5 of their last 8 away games in the Premier League – they will be lucky to leave Old Trafford with a result.
