Premier League 2018/19: Week 10 Predictions

Manchester United v Everton

This season, United are predictable only in their unpredictability: defeats to West Ham, Brighton and Derby, an awful first half against Newcastle followed by a stirring second-half comeback, a passive and conservative opening against Chelsea rescued by an incisive attacking exhibition after the break, including two high-quality goals by the hitherto anonymous Martial. The positive vibes garnered by the away draw to Chelsea quickly dampened as they were outclassed at home to Juventus in the Champions League three days later.

Everton do not like playing at Old Trafford - Utd have more PL wins against Everton than any other team so it does not augur well for the Goodison Park outfit. However, Everton are on a good run of form with three consecutive wins. They are seven points better off than the same period last season whereas United are 6 points worse off.

The Red Devils have scored 6 and conceded 7 goals at home and, likewise, Everton have scored 6 and conceded 7 away from home. United are surely going to have to hit form at some time and get a run of results under their belt. Tentatively, I'm going 2-1 for the home team.
