Man Utd supporters endured another frustrating afternoon in their 0-0 draw with Tony Pullis’ well drilled West Bromwich Albion side on Saturday. It was United’s 8th home draw and 11th draw overall this season and no side has drawn more games than Jose Mourinho’s side. Their inability to score goals on a regular basis has hampered them all season and they are the lowest scorers in the Premier League’s top 7.
Everton’s mental block against Liverpool continued when they were turned over 3-1 in Saturday evening’s Merseyside Derby. Even though the defeat against their local rivals will sting, they can take solace in the fact that they have lost just twice in 10 games – a run that has kept Everton in contention in the race for the 4th spot, even though they are still considered outsiders. In the reverse fixture between the sides in early December, a late Leighton Baines penalty rescued a point for the Toffees after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had given Man United the lead. The Swede makes a welcome return to United’s attack after a 3 game suspension. Read our Man Utd v Everton betting tips below.
Man Utd’s disheartening drawing patterns are a major cause for concern, but they haven’t lost a game in the Premier League since October – that’s an unbeaten run of 19 games. It will be interesting to see how much Everton’s belief was hampered by their defeat to Liverpool, but there is little to separate Mourinho’s and Koeman’s teams. The returning Zlatan Ibrahimovic may well be the difference on Tuesday. A narrow home win in a close run game at Old Trafford.
Unibet give Man Utd odds of 1/2 to pick up a much-needed win and while those odds are interesting, Unibet’s odds of 10/11 for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score anytime look better. The Swede has a wonderful habit of stepping up to the mark when required and United need their talismanic centre-orward to produce. Under 2.5 goals at 24/25 also looks worth some money at Unibet.
