We simulated Manchester United vs Everton to get a Premier League score prediction

Manchester United will be looking to build on their victory against Brentford and tighten their grip on a Premier League top-four spot when they face Everton at Saturday lunchtime.

Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game as United beat Brentford 1-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, with the victory sending United back into the top four and ahead of Tottenham by three points. After a run of three league games without a win, United dropped to fifth in the table, but they have a chance to potentially push away from Spurs when they face Everton on Saturday.

Victory against the Toffees would send United into third and six points ahead of fifth place, with Spurs facing a tough clash against Brighton. The last meeting between United and Everton ended in a 3-1 win for Erik ten Hag's side in the FA Cup, with Antony and Rashford scoring either side of a Conor Coady own goal.
