Everton host struggling Manchester United at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton welcome Manchester United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for a Premier League meeting that pits two sides heading in very different directions this season.
The hosts have won three of their last five matches, drawing the other two without defeat, and go into the fixture as clearly the form side. Manchester United, by contrast, have managed just one win in their last five, alongside two defeats and two draws.
A recent rivalry with no clear pattern
The two clubs have met five times since December 2024, with results split fairly evenly across wins, defeats and draws for both sides. Manchester United won the most recent encounter in February 2026, edging out Everton 1-0, while Everton had earlier claimed a 1-0 win of their own at Old Trafford in November 2025.
Two of the five previous meetings ended in draws, including a 2-2 result last August and another 2-2 scoreline in February 2025, underlining how tight this fixture has often been regardless of league form at the time.
What is at stake
With the season only three matchdays old, this fixture offers an early opportunity for Everton to build on their strong start and further separate themselves from a United side still searching for consistency.
For Manchester United, a positive result at the Hill Dickinson Stadium would go some way to steadying a shaky opening to the campaign after just one win in their last five outings across all competitions.
