Premier League: Everton v Manchester United Odds and Betting Preview

EVERTON, ENGLAND – Manchester United face a difficult away trip to Goodison Park this weekend, as the Premier League Champions bid to get their title challenge back on track after last weekend’s horror show. Man Utd are the 5/6 favourites to win the match with Paddy Power. Everton are 4/1 to consign Sir Alex Ferguson’s side to back-to-back defeats. Victor Chandler offer an industry best 14/5 on the draw. 

Manchester United head to Merseyside Park looking to rebound from last weekend’s horrific 6-1 defeat to Manchester City with a vital victory. After a promising start to the season, United are enduring a poor run of form of late with the usually rock-solid backline surprisingly frail of late and the midfield lacking a creative spark. However, it is far too early to write off the Red Devils, after all, the Champions are second in the table and famed for their vast improvements in the second of half of the season. Tom Cleverley and Nemanja Vidic look set to be welcomed back into the fold after injury whilst Ashley Young is a doubt for the visitors with a toe injury.

Everton currently sit 13th in the League table after their opening eight matches of the season. David Moyes’ side have struggled of late, losing four of their last five matches in all competitions including Wednesday’s agonizing Carling Cup defeat to Chelsea. The Toffees do however have all the quality to cause an upset this Saturday and are unbeaten against United in their last four matches on home soil. Club captain Phil Neville and Tim Cahill will miss out for the hosts through injury whilst Royston Drenthe is suspended

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is the favoured result at a best price of 13/2 with William Hill. A 1-0 victory to Manchester United is the next best chance in the market, priced up at 6/1 with Ladbrokes whilst 3-1 to the visiting side is a 14/1 chance at Betfred. Everton are 12/1 with Paddy Power to win the match by a goal to nil whilst a 2-1 Toffees triumph is a 16/1 shot with Boylesports.

Punters expecting a high scoring affair this evening can back three or more goals to be scored in the match at 10/11 with Coral or four or more at 9/4 with Stan James. Bet365 offer the best price for fewer than 2.5 goals being scored in the encounter at evens whilst fewer than 1.5 goals is an 11/4 chance with William Hill.

Punters wishing to back Everton to be leading at the interval and go on to win the match can find odds of 8/1 with Boylesports whilst Draw/Everton is a 9/1 chance at Bet365.

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez is 11/2 with Betfred to celebrate the signing of his new 5-year contract with the opener whilst Antonio Valencia is a 16/1 chance in the market with Bet365. Former Red Devil Louis Saha is Everton’s favourite to break the deadlock, at a best price of 9/1 with Paddy Power whilst Jack Rodwell is a 22/1 shot at Victor Chandler.
