Everton v Manchester United result predicted by supercomputer
Everton will look to continue their impressive Premier League form under David Moyes when they face Manchester United on Saturday.
Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 last weekend to make it four wins, one draw and just one loss since Moyes succeeded Sean Dyche.
Moyes’ side host Manchester United at Goodison Park in the early kickoff on 22 February with a chance to climb further up the Premier League.
They enter the game sitting 14th in the table, seven points off the top half and now 13 above the relegation zone.
Everton and Manchester United form
Everton really are a team transformed under Moyes, who has turned the Toffees into one of the most in-form sides in the division over the past month.
The recent 2-2 draw with Liverpool shows exactly what Everton are capable of on their day, with relegation fears now a thing of the past.
As for Manchester United, they have lost back-to-back league games – against Crystal Palace and Tottenham – without scoring.
In fact, they have lost three of their past four matches and are one point and one place behind Everton in the Premier League.
| Aston Villa (h) | L 1-0 |
| Tottenham (h) | W 3-2 |
| Brighton (a) | W 1-0 |
| Leicester (h) | W 4-0 |
| Liverpool (h) | D 2-2 |
| Crystal Palace (a) | W 2-1 |
Supercomputer makes Everton favourites v Manchester United
As per Opta Analyst‘s supercomputer, Everton have a 38.3 per cent chance of beating United at Goodison Park.
That compares to a 33.3 per cent chance for United to claim all three points on Merseyside.
A draw, meanwhile, is 28.4 per cent, which suggests the sides sharing the spoils is a pretty high probability.
Either way, a Manchester United win is the least likely outcome based on these findings, which not many would have predicted not so long ago.
That is testament to just how good a job Moyes has done in his second coming at the Toffees, but also a damning indictment of how badly things have started for Amorim at Old Trafford.
Should Everton come out on top as predicted this weekend, there is every chance a top-half finish could still be attainable this campaign.
And if Moyes is to achieve that, it may well be that the Scotsman is an outsider contender for the Premier League Manager of the Season award.
