The visitors' attack could prove decisive: Everton vs Manchester United prediction
Everton have started the season well and are capable of causing serious problems for any opponent at home. However, after the victory over Ipswich, United's attack looks much more confident, especially with Fernandes in his current form.
The match should be fairly open, as both teams make active use of quick attacks. With a slight edge in individual quality, the visitors look a little closer to victory.
