Are Everton on the slide already?  They start the weekend in fourth place and host a Manchester United side that are down in 15th place, though they do have a game in hand. Everton got their season off to a storming start with a run of four straight wins and progression to the quarter finals of the EFL Cup. However, just one point has been earned from the last three league games, with the last two both lost. Those two defeats were on the road though and the Merseyside club are more comfortable at Goodison Park. The only home league loss in the last 15 Premier League games was a final day defeat last season by Bournemouth. This season, Everton have won two and drawn with Liverpool with 17 goals scored in those three matches. They have been without Jamie Rodriguez in recent games and the lack of depth in the Everton squad is clear to see. Defensive problems exist too with none in the last six league games and just one in the last 11 at home.

Manchester United begin the weekend nine points behind the league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand. It's been a strange season for them so far with good results in Europe and some shocking results in the Premier League. Only four teams have conceded more league goals than United this season and remember they've only played six matches, four of which have been at home. Just two away league games have been played and both ended in United victories. They won 3-2 at Brighton and Hove Albion and 4-1 at Newcastle. Throw in an away win at PSG and they seem to be more comfortable on the road at present. That's further proved by the fact they have scored at least twice in each of their last six away league matches.  They only have one point from their last two league games and need to be more consistent if they want to challenge for a top four place. A bet on both teams to score in this game has a strong chance of being a winning one.
