Notable statistics of the Man United - Everton match
In his first two matches in charge, Ruben Amorim and Man United drew 1-1 with Ipswich and beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2. Hosting Everton at home, Man United are considered to have a good chance of winning all 3 points, thereby improving their position on the rankings.
The Toffees have lost just one of their last eight Premier League games, but it's safe to say their fans aren't exactly happy with how things have gone this season. Sean Dyche's side have found some defensive solidity, but their attacking options have been limited.
Everton have failed to score in their last three games, losing 1-0 to Southampton, before drawing 0-0 with West Ham and Brentford. Everton had 27 shots against Brentford last week, but their expected goals were just 1.2.
Everton have failed to score in six Premier League games this season, the most in the competition. On the other hand, they have a very solid defence, having kept four clean sheets, behind only Liverpool (six) and Man United (five). Everton have had three 0-0 draws this season.
Everton's last two Premier League games have both ended 0-0. The last time the Liverpool side recorded three consecutive goalless draws in the English top flight was in February 1982.
The Man United - Everton match promises to be low-scoring. Since the start of the season, Man United's matches have only produced 26 goals. The Old Trafford team has only scored 13 goals, a record only bettered by Southampton, Crystal Palace and Everton before round 13 began.
The game against Everton marks Ruben Amorim's first at Old Trafford in charge of Man United. Prior to joining Man United, Amorim won all 22 of his home games in charge of Sporting CP, scoring 72 goals and conceding 13. United fans will be hoping their new head coach can bring that form to Old Trafford.
Rashford scored his first goal of Amorim's tenure, and he is always a good option to score against Everton. He has been involved in five goals in his last seven Premier League games against the Toffees (two goals, three assists), scoring in both of their last two meetings. The striker is just two goals away from becoming the sixth player to score 50 Premier League goals at Old Trafford for United.
Everton have struggled when it comes to creativity this season, but if they want to pose a threat then Dwight McNeil is the name to keep an eye on.
Dwight McNeil has made 101 passes into the opposition box this season, a tally only bettered by Fulham's Andreas Pereira (103). He has also created 30 chances for his teammates, the most at Everton, well ahead of Ashley Young (16).
