History of the Everton v Manchester United fixture

Everton prepare to entertain Manchester United at Goodison Park at lunchtime on Saturday, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 84 games played, Toffees have recorded 40 wins, and Man. Utd. have come away with 27 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in September 2007, with Man. Utd. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Toffees in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides

Everton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Toffees have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Man. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The Red Devils have managed to tuck away 10 goals in this period, and concede just the 3.

Everton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 8 matches. Man. Utd. find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 14 points they have accumulated from 7 games.
