Everton and Manchester United will compete for a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals when they meet at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been in resurgent form in the Premier League recently, moving into the top four on the back of a three-game winning streak, whilst the Red Devils are on a run of six wins in their last seven top-flight matches.
Everton vs Manchester United Latest Odds
Having lost just one of their last four matches against this opposition, the Toffees are available at 23/10 (3.30) with bet365 to remain on course for their first silverware since 1995 by coming out on top here.
However, Man United have won all eight of their away matches in domestic competition this season and are 11/10 (2.10) favourites to book their place in the final four with another victory.
Two of the last three meetings between this pair have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75) on them taking this one straight to penalties after a deadlocked 90 minutes.
Everton vs Manchester United Team News
Lucas Digne, Fabian Delph, Allan and Jean-Philippe Gbamin are all ruled out for Everton, while James Rodriguez and Andre Gomes are both doubtful.
Scott McTominay is unlikely to feature after picking up a groin strain in his two-goal performance against Leeds at the weekend, with Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw both also unavailable due to fitness.
Everton vs Manchester United Preview
While the Toffees’ recent upturn in form has been built on a solid defence that has let in just three goals in five matches, they will surely struggle to maintain that solidity against their free-scoring opponents.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have hit the net nine times in just their last two matches and are averaging just under three goals per match on the road in all competitions this season.
Indeed, having scored three times on their last visit to Goodison just last month, they will be confident of overcoming any resistance on Wednesday.
On the other hand, Everton have sacrificed their own cutting edge up front in favour of more defensive resilience, scoring just six times in their last five fixtures.
Everton vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions
With this superior firepower in mind, odds of 11/10 (2.10) look like good value on Manchester United maintaining their away winning streak here.
