Following a last gasp win against Villarreal in the Champions League, Manchester United return to the Premier League with the chance to reach the top of the table when they face Everton on Saturday.
The Red Devils lost their last EPL match against Aston Villa at home 1-0 through Hause’s late goal before Fernandes missed his spot-kick.
A damaging defeat succumbed them to successive losses at home but the win against Villarreal turned things around.
Alcacer broke the deadlock for the visitors before Telles equalized for United but Mr. Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net in stoppage time to give his side their first win of the UCL season.

On the other hand, Everton got back to winning ways in the EPL when they beat Norwich 2-0 at home through goals from Towsend and Doucoure.
This after a loss to Aston Villa in the league and a defeat to QPR on penalties in the EFL Cup.
Hence, both sides look to build on their last victories and make a difference.
Man United and Everton are in 4th and 5th place on the table with 13 points each. It is to be reminded that the winner of this match moves to the top of the table.
Both sides last met in a club friendly in early August where Manchester United won 4-0 at home.

Prediction: Man United 2-0 Everton
The win mid-week would surely revitalise Manchester United for the weekend fixture and we expect them to make it count in front of a rapturous home crowd.
Everton has their issues with the absence of their strikers but are still a formidable line-up. We expect a quality contest but see United clinching the points.
Players to watch out for: Ronaldo, Fernandes, Gray and Doucoure.
