We simulated Everton vs Manchester United to get a score prediction

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from their recent derby day defeat this weekend, as they face Everton on Sunday evening.

Despite scoring three times in the second half, United fell to a damning 6-3 defeat against rivals Manchester City in their last Premier League outing. The defeat left United in sixth, but Anthony Martial's cameo in that game was a bright spark that could excite United fans for the future.

Marcus Rashford and Martial shone in United's 3-2 victory over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday too, and both could start against Everton on Sunday. The last meeting between these two sides saw Everton win 1-0 at Goodison Park, and the Toffees enter this one unbeaten in their last six.
