Manchester United legends Gary Neville and Roy Keane have differing views on their chances against Everton.

David Moyes' side welcome Michael Carrick's men to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils are fresh off the back of a 5-2 win over Ipswich Town on Sunday, marking their first Premier League win of the season.

Everton, meanwhile, are unbeaten to start the new campaign despite the atmosphere around the club being particularly toxic at present.

Indeed, the ending to the Toffees' transfer window has soured the mood around L3.

But three points against United on Sunday would do an awful lot to restore faith in the trajectory of Everton's 2026-27 season.

What did Gary Neville and Roy Keane predict for Everton vs Man United?

Following on from the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth last time out, Everton are hoping to get back on the winning trail this weekend.

Prior to matchday three getting underway, The Overlap have sat down to discuss how they see the results playing out.

Neville is confident of an away win for his old side, saying: "2-1 United. Sorry Everton fans.

"We do have a good record there (Everton). I think we do well there."

Keane, on the other hand, isn't as convinced that Man United will turn up to Hill Dickinson Stadium and get the three points.

"Everton should have got a result last year (1-0 Man United win). Let's go 1-1."

So, how strong is Everton's home record against Man United in recent times?

Why Neville is correct with Man United, Everton claim

Everton and Man United is one of the oldest fixtures in the Premier League.

These two sides have been going at it since the league's inception in 1992, and countless games have been classics.

However, it is the Red Devils who've had the upper hand in this fixture in more recent times, and particularly on Merseyside.

Everton haven't beaten United on home soil in any of their last four meetings, with their last win coming in April 2022.

In general, the Toffees have only tasted one victory over the Old Trafford outfit in their last 10 clashes in all competitions.

What we do appear to be guaranteed is a high-scoring affair, as three of the last five games in all competitions have had at least four goals scored.

So, three points this weekend would hold considerably more value for Moyes' side, but Keane's prediction of a point wouldn't be the end of the world either.
