What is the head-to-head record between Everton and Manchester United?

The only meeting between the two clubs in our records is a Women's Super League fixture, with Manchester United beating Everton 2-1 on 21 March 2026. It tells us nothing about how the men's teams match up, and there is no recent men's head-to-head on file to draw from.

Everton and Manchester United form guide

Manchester United's league form has been more mixed. They lost 2-0 away at Hull City on 22 August, before responding with a 5-2 win at home to Ipswich Town on 30 August.

Everton vs Manchester United team news

Everton have two notable absences. Jack Grealish remains out with a long-term injury, and Jake O'Brien is suspended. Seamus Coleman is fit to return, and Nathan Patterson looks the likely option to fill in at right-back.

Manchester United go into the game under interim manager Michael Carrick, with reports suggesting he has the same group of players available that he did in their last league outing.

Everton vs Manchester United prediction

Everton will beat Manchester United in this Premier League meeting on 6 September 2026. Everton are unbeaten in the league so far this season and have looked solid at home, while Manchester United have already shown they can be beaten away from home, losing 2-0 at Hull City in their opener. That vulnerability on the road, set against Everton's home form, is enough to back the hosts here.

Our prediction: Everton 2-1 Manchester United
