Everton vs Manchester United: Moyes Faces Former Club as Form Teams Collide — Premier League — September 06, 2026

Introduction

Everton welcome Manchester United to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon with both sides carrying contrasting momentum into Gameweek 3. The Toffees sit seventh on four points after an opening 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and a late 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, while United occupy tenth with three points following a chastening 2-0 loss at newly promoted Hull City and a rousing 5-2 home demolition of Ipswich Town. David Moyes returns to face his former employers having overseen a solid start despite a turbulent transfer window that saw Iliman Ndiaye depart for Manchester City and a deadline-day move for Folarin Balogun collapse. Michael Carrick's United have already amassed 42 league points since his appointment — more than any other side in that span — but defensive frailties persist, with the Red Devils yet to keep a clean sheet this season.

Why Watch

Everton's WDWLW run across all competitions (two wins, two draws, one loss in their last five) showcases a side grinding out results, averaging 1.5 goals scored and conceding just 0.5 per league game. United's LW form masks a tale of two halves: they generated 1.81 expected goals at Hull but lost 2-0, then exploded for five against Ipswich with Bruno Fernandes netting a hat-trick. The head-to-head recent history favors United
