Premier League 2018/19: 3 reasons why Everton could defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford

#2 Current form of Marco Silva's side

When Everton appointed Marco Silva as their manager in the new campaign, they had their sight sets on getting back to the top six or even challenge for the Champions League places.

Marco made his intention clear upon arrival spending more than 150 million pounds in the summer transfer market bringing in the likes of Richarlison, Yerry Mina, Lucas Digne, Andre Gomes, and few others.

Despite the transfers, what's more, eye-catching for the fans is the style of play that Marco Silva's team has adapted. Unlike Sam Allardyce, who preferred to sit back and wait for a chance to attack on the counter, Marco has made this team play on the front foot from the word go.

He is not afraid to make changes to the squad when needed and wants to win every game. They have won their last three league fixtures on the trot and would be looking to make it four in a row at Old Trafford.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
