Our GW12 Manchester United vs Everton predicted lineups, preview, team overviews, H2H record, betting odds and predicted score.
This is a fixture that even through their turmoil and chopping and changing of manager’s with little hope of actual success, Manchester United have dominated in recent years, winning 4 of the last 5 league meetings with an aggregate score of 13-2 over those last 5 meetings. However things are different in 2025 than they were three or four years ago. Everton are performing better than they have done in many a season under David Moyes and actually play entertaining football with Ndiaye and Grealish tearing it up on the wings, and while Manchester United are in a very good run of form over the last month, their outlook and goals are still that of a mid table team; these teams have never shared similar expectations until now.
Manchester United are in the midst of their best ever stretch of form under Ruben Amorim, going unbeaten in their last 5 league games, notching 3 wins and 2 draws in that span. Morale is high although after 3 consecutive wins over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton, the shine has worn off very slightly with consecutive 2-2 draws against Forest and Tottenham in which United needed late equalisers to take a point from those games. Everton come in to this game off the back of a big win over Fulham that was much needed after the Toffees went through a mini slide of their own, which consisted of 2 losses to Man City and Tottenham and a draw against Sunderland. If Moyes and Everton can make it consecutive wins this weekend, that would vault them up into the top half of the table into a crowd of contenders for European football next season, meanwhile a win would vault United most likely in to the top 4 and the outcry for Amorim’s firing would die down significantly. Can Amorim and this United team actually produce a win with expectations befitting of a club like Manchester United (and not just jokes about avoiding a relegation scrap) or can Everton show they’re legitimately a good team and give fans hope that they could be playing in Europe next season?

This is about as dominant and one sided a head-to-head that is in Manchester United’s favour as there is in recent years given United’s own failings as a club post Fergie. Outside of their last meeting which was a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park, United have treated Everton like they’re a Championship side in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. Of the previous 5 league meetings, outside of last season’s 2-2 draw, United had won all of the previous 4 meetings by an aggregate scoreline of 11-0 including 4-0 and 3-0 thrashings. United keeping 4 clean sheets in a row against you in this era is truly unacceptable from an Evertonian standpoint. They will be looking to swing the momentum in their favour given this current moment is likely the closest the two teams have been in terms of quality and season long outlook.

| GK - Lammens |
| RWB - Mazraoui |
| CB - Yoro |

| CB - Shaw |

Speaking on Friday to the media Amorim revealed that “Maguire is not ready. Kobbie [Mainoo] didn’t train today but I think tomorrow we could see Kobbie, so we will see”, which will mean Yoro, De Ligt and Shaw start as the 3 CB’s against Everton.
He also revealed that “[Lisandro Martinez] is becoming close to be ready to play. Of course we need to be careful as he is going to struggle in the first [few] minutes. He is clearly in the better position compared to two weeks ago”. This sounds like Martinez could be on the bench next weekend in GW13 but will be worked back in slowly.
Casemiro traveled with Brazil national team for the international break and is expected to play, after rumours of a knock that might keep him out. As long as he does not pick up a knock on international duty he will start alongside Fernandes against Everton.
Harry Maguire was forced off in the 72nd minute against Tottenham due to a hamstring issue. While it is believed to be minor, soft tissue injuries are tricky and it is unlikely Maguire starts on Monday although the extra day or two might provide him with the time to be fit. The best centre-back trio United could field would be De Ligt, Maguire and Yoro but Amorim has stuck with Shaw all season for some reason.
Sesko will not participate with Slovenia during the international break due to a knee injury that Sky Sports are now reporting will keep the Slovenian striker out for up to a month. While he has avoided a major knee injury and that is positive, this is a setback for United who will now likely have to play Amad further forward in the right 10 role, with Cunha as the striker and Mazraoui or Dalot at RWB. Mazraoui played RWB against Tottenham in the 2-2 draw with Dalot fit, so it seems he is preferred over the Portuguese full-back.
Lisandro Martinez is training with Argentina but will not play with the national team, according to Simon Stone of the BBC. This must mean he is nearing a return, but may still be weeks away from seeing game action.
Casemiro: Will feature for Brazil and will start against Everton.
Maguire: Not fit to take part against Everton but should return next week.
Sesko: Out for up to 1 month with a knee injury.
Yoro: Will start in Maguire’s place and should be starting most games regardless.
Amad: Will of course start, but will shift back to RWB.
Mazraoui: Could feature at RWB or even RCB but likely drops to the bench.

| GK - Pickford |
| RB - Garner |
| CB - Keane |
| CB - Tarkowski |
| LB - Mykolenko |
| CM - Gueye |
| CM - Irroegbunam |
| AM - Dewsbury-Hall |
| RW - Ndiaye |
| LW - Grealish |
| ST - Barry |
The only major news Moyes had during his Friday press conference was that “Unfortunately, Merlin had an operation a week last Monday on his hernia. It’s going to keep him out for a few weeks. Hopefully by the time we get around to December, he’ll be fit and ready to go again”. Not great news on new signing Rohl but he is not a major factor in starting lineups anyway.
Garner shifted to right-back in the 2-0 win over Fulham, while O’Brien was benched. This allowed Irroegbunam to come into the team while still getting the qualities Garner provides, especially when he inverts in to midfield on occassion. Moyes may feel he would just rather find a way to shoehorn Garner, Irroegbunam and Gueye in the team than start the nominal right-back in O’Brien.
Barry has started the last 2 league games, and Everton have taken 4 points from those games, whereas the previous 2 games Beto started and Everton lost both. Barry starting against Manchester United seems fairly set in stone but Beto has had joy against United before.
Patterson is suffering from a hernia and had to undergo a procedure on his groin. Moyes revealed “(Patterson) has had a small procedure on his groin so he’s obviously not available for this game”. He will likely be out a few more weeks.
Garner: Played RB last game and this may continue.
Irroegbunam: Started against Fulham in the 2-0 win and played well. Should keep his place if Moyes is comfortable playing Garner RB.
Barry: Started the last 2 PL games, and Everton’s form and the results improved. Should start once again.
O’Brien: Dropped for Garner. If Garner shifts back in to midfield, O’Brien will start at RB.
Rohl: Out until December.
Amorim will set his United team up how he always does and will, in his infamous 3-4-3 with Amad replacing Sesko in the front 3 but playing alongside Mbeumo in the 10 roles with Cunha moving forward to play as the nominal striker. Everton will come out in the 4-2-3-1 Moyes has utilised all season to great affect, with the only real change of note being Moyes opting to play Garner at right-back and starting Irroegbunam in midfield.
Both teams have had solid starts to their seasons, and enter this game in relatively good form although Everton did lose their previous 2 games before beating Fulham, but the quality of their opponents in City and Spurs is likely the biggest factor there, and less to do with Everton’s form. While Manchester United do have the quality to hurt an Everton defence void of youth and star defenders, having Sesko out will hurt and losing Amad’s attacking presence at wing-back leads me to believe this is a game Manchester United will struggle to create quality chances and score in. Everton however have a fully fit squad essentially and I can just see Ndiaye and Grealish causing that Man United back-line so many issues. Having Dewsbury-Hall as an extra midfield type of profile in there to help when needed and outman United’s 2 man midfield of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes also points to a real numbers and physical advantage in midfield for Everton and those two major advantages for Everton are where I think they win this game. Both teams will score in this one, and the outlook of this game points me in the direction of a rare Everton win over Manchester United in the Premier League: 1-2 Everton!
