Sutton’s Predictions for Everton v Man Utd Match: Expert Analysis

Chris Sutton is back with predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, accompanied by various guests.

This week, he takes on Barry Can’t Swim, also known as DJ and producer Joshua Mannie – who is a passionate Everton fan.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Despite Everton’s relegation battle, I believe they have what it takes to avoid the drop.

Speculations about their points deduction adding a motivational aspect to the club’s performance might benefit Manchester United, as the charged atmosphere at Goodison Park on Sunday could sway in their favor.

There’s a risk of over-excitement among Everton’s players, and they must maintain all 11 players on the field – a message surely emphasized by their manager Sean Dyche. If achieved, Everton stands a good chance of winning this game, considering their recent run of form.

Results-wise, Manchester United holds an impressive record with four wins in their last five league games. However, Everton’s recent performances and the fervor surrounding the club may surprisingly result in a victory. As a firm believer in fairytales, my prediction is an Everton triumph.

Goodison Park will be fervently alive should I be proven correct.

Barry Can’t Swim’s prediction: 2-0

This game will largely shape my outlook on the rest of the season. Consequently, I am predicting an Everton win. We’re scoring multiple goals at present, and Manchester United isn’t showing strength.

It’s the first game after the deduction, we’re in good form, and we’re playing at home. If I were a United fan, I would not currently fancy a visit to Goodison Park.
