Man United Form & Balance Check
At the latest since it became known that a separation from Cristiano Ronaldo is inevitable, things are going much better for the Red Devils again. If we take a look at the performances of the last few weeks right at the beginning, then this sight should please all fans of the English record champions. The team of coach Erik ten Hag has four wins in a row and compared to the direct competition from Newcastle, United even has a game in hand. With the title it will probably be nothing again this season, but reaching the Champions League should be within the realm of possibility.
Rashford in top form
One of the main reasons why things are going much better at United is the appointment of Marcus Rashford. Already at the World Cup in Qatar, the Englishman was one of the best of the Three Lions with three goals. He has also taken his form into the jersey of the Red Devils. The now 25-year-old scored in each of his last three games. A significant increase can also be seen on the defensive. David de Gea has not conceded a single goal in the last five games. In comparison, the Red Devils had conceded 20 goals in the previous 14 games.

Everton Form & Balance Check
What has become of Everton FC? Less than ten years ago, the Toffies were excellently staffed with players like Lukaku or Sigurdsson and the second force from Liverpool was involved almost every year in the fight for the international places. The team of coach Frank Lampard is currently miles away from that. This season, too, it’s all about survival in the Premier League. How bad it really is for the traditional club from Merseyside, shows a look at the table. Currently, it is only enough to place 16 and four of the last five games were lost. In the vicinity of Everton it can already be heard that the upcoming game will be something of a final for Frank Lampard.
Harmless offensive
While there have been players like Calvert-Lewin in recent years, who usually scored in double figures, nothing comes together this season. After 18 matchdays, Everton FC scored a meagre 14 goals. In contrast, the defense is quite safe with 24 goals conceded. After all, there was a little sense of achievement a few days ago. Against the big favorites Manchester City, Everton was able to fight for a 1-1 draw, only to come under the wheels during the week with 1-4 against Brighton.
Everton Facts & Analysis
– Currently only in 16th place – Last lost
– 1:4 against Brighton
– Only 14 goals scored
Expected line-up – last update on January 4, 2023
The Red Devils will swap only one position compared to 3-0 over Bournemouth. For Van de Beek, Fernandes will move to the ten and Fred completes the three-man midfield. Anthony, Rashford and Martial will then play in attack. There is also strong speculation about a return of Varane. At the upcoming opponents Everton there will be no changes compared to the 1:4 against Brighton. Gray, who has scored in each of the last two games, will return to the left wing. Together with Calvert-Lewin and McNeill, he is supposed to create danger.
